Enter the Void Trailer: Life in Neon, and Death Too

You've seen the epilepsy-inducing credit sequences from Gaspar Noe's surrealist Enter the Void, but now that IFC has put out a trailer in advance of the film's September 24 bow stateside, you can get a closer look at the whole hallucinogenic experience. Can you handle a film that simultaneously invokes elements of a first-person shooter, the Tibetan Book of the Dead, and the Rainbow Road stage from Super Mario Kart?

Our man in Cannes was not a fan when the film premiered there last year, but Enter the Void started to win partisans at Sundance in January, and you can see why in the trailer: It promises a visual experience like no other. Let's just be glad that this surreal, genre-defying indie isn't 3D -- I'm not sure our feeble minds could take it.

VERDICT: Sold, and perhaps also brainwashed into killing the prime minister of Malaysia.
