    I know each interpretation is valid but Gaspar Noe refuted (is that the right word?) the reincarnation theory. The character has a dream about reincarnation before dying but it's not related to the ending.

    He says the main character's interest in Buddhism and reincarnation was just thrown in there but he doesn't believe in that stuff. And the ending could either be a memory of his birth or a hint to his sister giving birth to confuse the viewer so it's up to interpretation I guess.

    He talks about that in this interview. It's in Spanish but I'm gonna link it anyway.

     

     

     

     

    That's what I meant by my final sentence, the whole thing is a hallucination while he dies, with the DMT still in his system. He's been reading up on buddhism and was talking about it with another character at the start, so all that stuff is in his head when he dies, so that's where his hallucination goes, it's all just happening in his head, fantasies, memories, random shit.

     

     

     

     

     

    Oh that's right sorry. So you think everything in the film after he dies is a hallucination? that would make a lot of sense actually, hence the heavy drug theme. It would also make sense with what darreichungsform said about sexual fantasies with his sister and her appearing naked and having sex so many times, especially at the love hotel scene right before the end where it would be literally himself having sex with her.  Good one btw, I didn't think of that.

    I need to rewatch that. So good!

     

     

     

    Do you have an idea on the meaning of the film?

    My take on it is that the "void" is actually life itself. When you're born you're "entering the void". That's why the world is portrayed as such a senseless, meaningless terrible place where all that matters is sex and violence which is how the real world really is.

    It all makes sense with the scene at the end. That's why you can't really see the face of the mother, her identity is irrelevant, it's just a metaphor to "entering the void".

    I could be wrong but that meaning suits me the best so I'm gonna stick with it lol I'm curious of what you thought of it.

     

     

     

     

     

    the entire film was him dying (maybe not from the very start, can't remember exactly), his actual experience of dying. So the void he was entering was death not life. From a buddhist perspective they may not be that different or whatever though, obviously there's the rebirth angle via the Tibetan Book of the Dead. But that might have all been in his head as well, because he was interested in that shit, and so he was just dying and hallucinating.

    Enter the Void

     

    That was the trippiest film I've ever seen. It was disturbing, dark, psychedelic and beautiful. I give it 10 out of 10. Strongly recommended!

     

    edit: music was also brilliant

    Black Fag

    Already beaten to it by Beck's mom

     

    From 1990 through 1995, Hansen operated the Troy Café in Los Angeles with her husband, Sean Carrillo, and performed with singer, drag queen, and performance artist Vaginal Davis. She and Davis went on to form the satirical band Black Fag, named after, and poking fun at, the famous punk band Black Flag[10]

    The Imitation Game

     

    Great film. Too melodramatic overall imo but I enjoyed it a lot.

    I really admire the guy so it's nice that he's getting some exposure to the mainstream public + Benedict XVI Cucumberbatch looks like him too.

    8/10
