In 1996, a troupe of young dancers gather in an isolated community centre to celebrate the end of rehearsals before their American tour. A small buffet has been set up for the occasion. Behind the stage shines a huge glitter curtain that looks like the French flag. It is a time of partying, dancing, and insouciance. But when the heads start spinning, tempers flare. The sangria isn’t going down as well as anticipated… Driven by the desire to film France’s best dancers, Gaspar Noe demonstrates once again the scale of his talent. Free from all limitations, he and his loyal DOP Benoît Débie make the camera spin, rise, nosedive, and rotate masterfully. The astounding, nihilistic and Pasolinian approach turns the film into a danse macabre performed on an insane soundtrack. A mesmerizing, furious ballet that will blow your mind
