Climax (4½ Stars)


This is the sixth film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.

No words I write can give an accurate impression of this film. I can describe the plot, but the film isn't about a plot. It's all about chaos.

A dance troupe has a private party. They dance. They talk. They drink. Then things get out of hand, because the punch has been laced with a psychedelic drug. The dancers begin to kill themselves and one another.

I strongly recommend that you watch this film on as large a screen as possible in a dark room to get the full effect. Turn up the volume as loud as you can. Even better, get yourself tipsy before the film starts. Don't get yourself drunk, just drink enough to give yourself a buzz before immersing yourself in the chaos.

At the end of this film the audience applauded. It was the first film to receive applause so far this year.
