Climax
Gaspar Noé
Street dancers gather for three days of rehearsal and partying. Fuelled by sangria, they are seized by madness. But is it just sangria? Clearly, it’s been spiked. By whom? Why? They fall into a collective trance which takes some to nirvana, others to hell. (Art Cinema Award).

Gaspar Noé
Gaspar Noé’s films have often courted controversy, notably in the way they dabble with psychological horror. I Stand Alone and Irreversible are engraved in the memories of cinemagoers. The Studio 5 faithful will remember his remarkable sketch in 8, a collective work on the issues of the new millennium.
