Gaspar Noé’s Climax, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and captivated audiences during a sold-out screening at the Toronto International Film Festival, is coming to Canadian screens on March 1st. This exciting news is accompanied by a new theatrical trailer and poster from Raven Banner, which gives us a taste of the madness we can expect.
Climax is the latest film from director Gaspar Noé. Known for pushing cinematic extremes to new heights, Noé has built a career on provocation with shockers such as Irreversible, Enter the Void, and I Stand Alone. Noé is back with Climax, a trippy film about a group of young dancers who, during an all-night celebration, discover their cups of sangria have been laced with potent LSD.
