Like how it all shows and not how it feels. I showed them all these videos; people high on LSD, mushrooms, crack, whatever.
Then after, I asked each one how they would want to portray their own craziness. However, some criticised the film's violence and story.
Critics agreed that the film had a unique style, but while most found it to be a quality, other reviewers heavily disliked it.
In a positive review, Joseph Walsh of Time Out stated: "Inventive and seductive, this infernal chamber piece will be sure to divide opinion.
The camera plunges into the chaos, melding physical theatre with a palette of fiendish reds and impish greens, all accompanied by throbbing techno.
Ray Pride of Newcity gave a very positive review, stating: " Climax is a rude, refined, gyroscopic, hurtling mash-up Seriously great stuff", he criticized the dialogue and horror scenes, stating that the film "turns into a sick circus of atrocities", which "just as often is more annoying and attention-seeking than dramatically effective, and the increasingly absurdist storyline.
Alas, with the notable exception of the empathetic Boutella, the cast of Climax consists primarily of dancers who are not actors.
Scott Craven of The Arizona Republic panned the film, rating it 1 out of 5 and stating, " Climax is actually two movies, one in which you hang out at a party with young dancers who are as wearisome as they are flexible, and the other with the same group on acid.
Neither is the least bit interesting. He make movies to provoke, if not to inspire annoyance, even hate. When a mom locks her young son in an electrical closet inside is a menacing circuit panel that, if animate, would swallow the child whole , even those without kids cringe as the boy screams for help.
Noe laughs at your discomfort. I have to take a long holiday and rethink my career. I never worked so little on something and I was never congratulated so much.

View All Critic Reviews Apr 17, Ed K Super Reviewer. Nov 19, I honestly have no idea who could enjoy Climax. I have watched dozens of movies where I knew it wasn't for me but I could at least fathom some appeal to a select viewer.
Climax is the rare film where I cannot even fathom any person enjoying it, because to even attempt to enjoy it on its fever dream level it purports would only lead to disappointment.
Is the very act of titling a movie called Climax with no climax itself a post-modern jape? Is that it? I'm confounded by this monotonous experimental triviality.
The plot: a Parisian group of dancers is practicing in an old school building one s wintry night. One of the members spikes a bowl of sangria with LSD.
The dancers unwittingly get high, freak out, and lash out, leading to one long sordid night of tumult.
That's it, folks. Firstly, Climax is incredibly, unbearably, crushingly tedious. It's 97 minutes that could literally be condensed into a music video for a three-minute song as far as substance is concerned.
Apparently Noe was working off of a five-page script note to readers: typically, in screenwriting terms, one page equals one minute of movie , so it's no surprise that the overwhelming majority of this movie feels empty.
The first six minutes or so are watching boring interviews of the various dance troupe members answering mundane questions.
It's still difficult to attach impressionable personalities or points of distinction for them beyond the superficial Tall Blonde, Girl with Glasses, etc.
After that it's an extended dance sequence, then about twenty minutes of chit chat where the dancers are improvising, and then we have another extended group dance, and then we get to the fateful spiked punch.
What I've just described is the first 45 minutes of the movie, also known as half of the film, and it could have all been removed without missing a beat.
That's a serious storytelling problem. Oh, I hear others preparing the defense, the movie is intended to be an experience and not a story.
If that's the case I need more of an experience. Noe described the first half of Climax as a "roller coaster" but it feels more like the long wait in line and then the brief five minutes of actual activity.
Even the opening dance sequence, while energetic, is less than extraordinary. It's not exactly a sequence that would wow me any more than a deleted scene from a direct-to-DVD Step Up sequel.
Climax fatally errs by, of all things, restraint. I could accept the slow buildup, the tedium, and even the paper-thin characters if, and that's a big if, Noe was able to pull out all the stops with his freak-out finale and just went bonkers.
However, it's not quite the same when we don't also experience the hallucinations and madness befalling our dancers. Instead we watch them pace around and scream, cry, sometimes writhe, sometimes fall down, sometimes fall down and writhe, sometimes fall down and writhe and cry, and that's about the extent.
It can be downright embarrassing to watch especially as Noe's penchant for tracking shots makes the performance takes so agonizingly long. There are brief moments of unpredictability where the dancers become violent and paranoid, but these are fleeting and we're back to watching people we don't care about scream about imaginary things.
Imagine if Noe let the audience in on these personal, psychedelic, and monstrous drug trips. Imagine how much more visually alive that would be and also how much more it would connect us with the characters, perhaps linking their hallucinations to personal traumas and anxieties.
I've had friends discuss going along for the ride with Climax, but what ride does it even offer?
The final ten minutes consists of a confusing upside-down camera angle, a scathing red light, and more antic writhing on the floor with the occasional sexual copulation.
At that point, I had long lost any interest to even attempt to decipher the screen. None of these characters matter, so I kept waiting for the eventual bad fates to fall upon them as the movie ramped into its horror section but Climax doesn't even do this.
I was expecting things to get progressively worse and take on a tragic momentum of escalating mistakes. I was expecting something and all I got was an extended music video where the extras had taken over, trying to convince me that their little spheres of drama were worth following there were not.
The little moments of conversation between the characters feel like you're eavesdropping on normal, ordinary, and boring people but also people without clear indication for character arcs, ironic reversals, or any of the sort of contexts that can make people interesting in narratives.
There's just no potential here for the characters and nothing that amounts to satisfaction oh the ongoing irony of its title, I know.
Here's how bad Noe miscalculates: at the very end, we discover which character was responsible for spiking the sangria, and it's treated like a big reveal, except this was never an important mystery and I didn't even recognize the culprit.
It didn't matter because the mystery never mattered and the characters especially never mattered. Noe has been a cinematic provocateur ever since his first film, 's Irreversible, began with a grueling, graphic nine-minute rape scene.
He seems more drawn to pushing button so he might devote an entire movie to a floating spiritual perspective Into the Void or shoot a love story with un-simulated sex including graphic 3D use of said parts Love.
He's not exactly the kind of man who wants to tell a simple story in a simple way though I would argue a majority of his stories are pretty simple.
So, if it's all about technical bravura and showmanship and pushing the envelope, then let the man be judged on those grounds, and he is found wanting with Climax.
The long swooping camerawork can be impressive as it tracks all over the confines of this building but the positives are weighed down by the banality of the visuals.
Far too much of this movie is simply following people walk down corridors. There aren't key, striking visuals to sear into your memory and it feels like Noe's heart just isn't in this.
There's one scene where a dancer, goaded by an angry and accusatory crowd, starts stabbing herself in the face.
I was expecting something far more graphic or bloody or consequential, but it's like a shrug. It feels like he's even bored by the assignment of directing his own movie and just keeping the camera running so he can cross the minute finish line and call it over.

In Gaspar Noés Film Climax wird eine Gruppe Tänzer auf mysteriöse Weise unter Drogen gesetzt und stürzt daraufhin in eine höllische Erfahrungswelt. Dieser macht ohne Zweifel «brilliant gestörte» Filme und geizt nicht mit «Ekstatischem», wie es Rezensionen zum jüngsten Film betonen. Climax. Frankreich ist ein guter Ort, um Filme zu drehen. Zu welchem Zeitpunkt wurde die Musik des Films ausgewählt? Zu einem sehr frühen Zeitpunkt.
