A Mephistophelean musical wig-out, Noé’s immersive, rave-’til-dawn descent into a yawning open pit of mass hysteria is purportedly based on a 1990s news item about a Parisian dance troupe who collectively lost their minds on a cocktail of hallucinogens—a hypnotic, hallucinatory, and ultimately hair-raising depiction of a party that descends into delirium and violence over the course of one wintry night. “The best movie of the year gives new meaning to the term ‘bad trip.’ Frenzied dance numbers combined with LSD, mental breakdowns, and childhood trauma turn this nutcase drama into The Red Shoes meets Hallucination Generation. Freak out, baby, freak out!” —Joihn Waters, Artforum
