Climax (2019) feat. Matt Cipolla

<p>Put on your spandex, avoid the sangria and stay out of the electrical closet because this week's "under ated or underseen" entry is Gaspar Noé's <em>Climax</em> (2019). </p><p>Joining us on this (acid) trip is writer Matt Cipolla, who brings a wealth of Noé knowledge, as well as nihilist philosophy like E. M. Cioran's aphorisms.</p><p>We discuss Noé as a troll and why the film is (or isn't?) political and racist, as well as the unorthodox &amp; collaborative production, child murder and more than a few drug stories.</p><p>Plus: why Trace will never watch this again, speculation about who lives and dies, and the comfort of rewatching the dance sequences.</p><p>References:</p><ul><li>Karen Han.
