If you talked to me for any length of time since last Tuesday, you've probably been given an earful about Gaspar Noe's Enter The Void, which has turned out to be one of my favourite films at this year's Festival (edged out only slightly by The Road).  Since I am in a rush line for the next few hours, I decided to get my Goog on about the movie and was delighted to find out that one half of Daft Punk - Thomas Bangalter - scored the film.

Which is not entirely surprising.  Noe and Bangalter are, of course, fellow countrymen (France, if you're not keeping up) and Bangalter also provided the score to Noe's previous work, Irreversible.  Both scores evoke a strong sense of foreboding and claustrophobia, which, in Enter The Void, stands directly in opposition to the frenetic flashes of neon from the ever-menacing Tokyo skyline and the constant strobing effects which seek to hypnotize the viewer over the course of the almost-three-hour film.

Enter the Void plays for the final time at TIFF on Saturday the 19th at 7:00pm at AMC.
