Gaspar Noé's Psychedelic Horror 'Climax' Returns with LSD-Laced Sangria
Argentine filmmaker Gaspar Noé returns with 'Climax', a psychedelic horror film set in the mid-1990s. The plot follows a group of young dancers rehearsing in an isolated building. During a final celebration, a bowl of sangria laced with LSD triggers chaos, transforming the film into an hallucinatory horror. Noé's signature themes—drugs, catharsis, violence, mind-body duality—are present. The trailer features Cerrone's 'Supernature'. Noé's previous works include 'Irreversible' (2002) and 'Enter the Void' (2009).
