"Enter the Void" has an avant-garde and psychedelic image style. The film combines strong and expressionistic colors, erratic motion shots and weird stroboscopic effects
. However, what is disappointing is that there are so few shots about the pursuit of vision in the film, and even so few that it can only show that the film uses avant-garde expression methods
.
Although "Enter the Void" is bold in its selection of materials, the lengthy and tedious content takes up too much. The film embodies the integrity of the narrative at the beginning of the story, but this narrative is obviously a completely subjective imitation based on Robert Montgomery's noir film "The Dead on the Lake" as a template. But after the opening narrative ends, the video images of the film begin to wander around uncontrollably. At the end of the film, the video footage wanders around the place known as the love hotel again, and a series of uncovered sex scenes announce the climax of the film. Therefore, this movie can be described by its title-"Escape" at first, and then slowly move towards "Nothingness". Another structural failure of the film is that many flashbacks in the film are not arranged according to the associations induced by the hero's drug use or death, but the embodiment of the director Gaspar Noé's personal wishes to make up for the thin narrative. As for the English dialogue of the film, in addition to being very stale, it also gives the audience a feeling of being designed for international screenings
