Gaspar Noe’s ‘Enter the Void’ Puts Bad Trips to Shame

Chasing a friend throughout the Quad as he attempts to throw himself out the window in the midst of a bad acid trip is never fun. But Gaspar Noé‘s Enter the Void puts any bad trips my friends had at Penn to deep, deep shame. The movie opens up with the death of its main character while he’s high on DMT. As he’s bleeding out, thinking that he’s merely hallucinating, one cannot help but cringe at how utterly awful it must be to get shot while you’re high out of your mind, unable to protect yourself in any meaningful way.
