Climax • Director: Gaspar Noé • Year: 2018 • Country: France, Belgium • Genre: Drama, Music, Thriller • Main Cast: Sofia Boutella, Romain Guillermic, Soheila Yacoub, Lakdhar Dridi, Thea Carla Schott • Duration: 92’ • Synopsis: In the mid 90s, 20 urban dancers join for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest. They then have a party, but a strange madness seizes them for the whole night. If it seems obvious that they have been drugged, they neither know by whom or why. • Rating: 5/5 • Review: The movie is loosely based on a true story, however the adaptation is truly smooth without any exaggeration or pseudo-fantastic entities. In most group dynamics, individuals have the fantasy -and even hidden tendency- of releasing the actual emotions and its reflections (e.g. lust, violence, jealousy), the movie reflects its realization and consequences successfully. The dance choreographies are simply brilliant, especially the first performance is legendary, and also the soundtrack is truly loopable. Also, the “habitat management” of the movie was handled very well, one large place with many sub-areas (one hall as well as corridors and rooms), it seemed compact and also under control by the director in terms of the location-wise continuity.
