Gaspar Noe is a French filmmaker known for pushing the boundaries in his filmmaking and pushing the buttons of people who watch his films. It was amusing to see other people more versed in his filmography than me refer to
Climax as easily his most accessible film considering just what a demented concoction
Climax is. It was amusing to think of how this played at my local Cinemark for about a week, a movie theater whose crowd tends to prefer Pure Flix movies over A24 movies. I'd imagine there were walk-outs a-plenty, heck,
Climax is so disturbing that employees at the theater likely had a bet to see if anyone would stick around for an entire screening!
