WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In the mid-90s, a group of urban dancers get together for a three-day rehearsal in an abandoned boarding school, for one last dance. Later, as they all party together, it becomes apparent that someone has spiked their sangria bowl with psychedelic drugs, and as they experience a bizarre and disturbing drug trip they let their psychoses and neuroses run rampant to make one hell of a wild night…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Controversial French director Gaspar Noé is back with another freakish and wild assault on the senses, using mostly unknown actors – with the exception of leading lady Sofia Boutella – to enact a wild drug trip that’s as disturbing as anything the director has made in the past.
