In the mid 1990's, 20 French urban dancers join together for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest to share one last dance. They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl. Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night.

In the mid 1990's, 20 French urban dancers join together for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest to share one last dance. They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl. Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night. If it seems obvious to them that they have been drugged, they neither know by who nor why. And it's soon impossible for them to resist to their neuroses and psychoses, numbed by the hypnotic and the increasing electric rhythm of the music. While some feel in paradise, most of them plunge into hell.
Leave your thoughts about Climax.
| CineVueKatie DriscollIt’s full of epic bombast, (he even claims that it is based on a true story) jolting you out of complacency with shock, colour and music. |
| The Film StageGiovanni Marchini CamiaIt’s all insane and intoxicating, and what’s perhaps most remarkable is that, ultimately, the ugliness and excess is legitimized by being in the service of an elaborate and ecstatically realized celebration of dancing as an art form. |
| The AU ReviewHarris DangClimax is an orgy of youthful enthusiasm, beautifully humanistic repugnance, compellingly animalistic repulsion, dazzlingly choreographed exhilaration and assuredly controlled grace; all soaked in hallucinogen-spiked sangria. |
| Butaca AnchaJJ NegreteRich in neon and long sequences, Noe has rebounded from the colossal misstep that was Love, but his new provocation results to be more conservative than scandalous. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Hollywood ReporterTodd McCarthyPairing his usual boundary-pushing sex-and-drugs fixation with a vital presentation of wildly exuberant dance and movement, Gaspar Noe has made a film that’s seductive in its rhythms and bold visualization of his young dancers’ sometimes beautiful, other times brutal somatic expressiveness. |
| Film ExperienceChris FeilIts first group dance sequence is worth price of admission alone, delivering a one-take dose of creative ecstasy, a gay fantasia among the most singularly thrilling film moments of the year. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdThere’s a spontaneity to Climax—a naturalistic immediacy born of its exceptional, energetic cast of unknowns, firing off entirely improvised jokes and insults and threats. |
| New York Magazine (Vulture)Emily YoshidaI was shocked to discover that I was actually … touched. Climax is a small miracle, and if this is Noé going soft (for him, of course), that might actually be a very good thing for the movies. |
| SensacinePhilipp EngelFor the rest of us, it's a party. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Birth.Movies.Death.Charles BramescoIt comes as no surprise, but Noé gonna Noé, and whether that's a positive or negative is an entirely personal distinction. |
