Enter the Void
Where the DNA of Enter the Void travels
Films that shaped it
-
For the idea of someone observing his own life from outside, I loved that short by Chris Marker, La Jetée.
-
The photography is fantastic. And also the way he combines the visions of the kid, the dreams, and reality. That’s very inspiring.
-
What I always love about Lynch’s Eraserhead and Lost Highway is that they’re like dreams. You perceive them as a very strong experience, but you don’t fully understand it because it has the logic of a dream. So, I tried to make films like that too.
-
Visually, I was trying to mix different styles, from the experimental cinema of Kenneth Anger and Jordan Belson to films like Suspiria for its extreme use of color.
-
When I was 15 years old I saw a movie by Ken Russell called Altered States, and I loved it very much. It was about consciousness, the self, and trying to go back to the origins of the human mind. The visuals were outstanding and crazy.
-
I like all Lynch movies, and I love the TV series, and I love Fire Walk With Me, because the more abstract, the more emotional and experimental the director is, the more I like it. Lynch is one of the only guys who makes movies like dreams and nightmares, so if I try to do something, I try to go in that direction.
Films it shaped
-
Filmed by k who had recently come off working with Gaspar Noe on Enter the Void, Spring Breakers has a distinctly impressionistic vibe.
