![]() ![]() This is exactly what happened in "Climax". Actors scream and panic for the whole time, and while this at first is effective because it creates a sense of discomfort, if does not evolve into something else, it is annoying. I don't even know what I watched in the last 20 minutes, because it was impossible to understand what was going on. I understand that the director wanted to give a sense of confusion and he manages to do it at the beginning, by rotating the camera, or with unusual shootings, but then he decided to randomly panning and zooming, and I was completely lost. There are a few scenes that are really uncomfortable, especially when drugs start to kick in, but then the movie becomes crazy. In the other half finally things start to move: we see characters tripping and while we go on, the situation gets worse and worse. I was almost giving up after 35 minutes of absolute nothing, just a bunch of people dancing and speaking about dirty and trivial stuff. First of all, it is too long and the buildup is too slow. I often search for strange and different movies that separate from the most "conventional" and commercial cinema, but unfortunately not all experiment are good and "Climax" is the perfect example of a failed trial. I love when directors experiment and try to push boundaries. ![]()
