We discuss Gaspar Noe's Climax, a deeply unsettling film about the human condition, bad drug trips, and what happens when unspoken social contracts are burned to the ground.  We discuss the phenomenal cast, mostly composed of dancers without acting experience who improvised a large portion of this film, awe-inducing single/long shots in the film, and the real-life inspiration for the film. We had very different opinions on this film, so our conversation also explores personal boundaries when consuming horror media and how you can appreciate the artistic vision of a film but not actively enjoy it. 

Content warnings for discussions of nonconsensual drug use, violence, incest, violence against children, and sexual assault/violence.

Climax is available to watch on Cinemax and to rent on Vudu, YouTube, and Google Play.
