Gaspar Noé, the infamous cinema provocateur behind films like “Irreversible” and “Enter the Void,” is readying his return to the big screen. Government funding group Tax Shelter Belgium (via The Playlist) has revealed the first details about Noé’s next project, his fifth feature, which will be titled “Psyché.” The film will find the director going back to the 1990s while still very much staying in his wheelhouse.

“Psyché” will center on a group of partygoers who get mysteriously drugged and “plunge into hell.” The question as to why they were drugged and who drugged them will be a driving force to the story, which will find the group succumbing to neurosis. The synopsis is more or less peak Gaspar Noé.

The official synopsis via Tax Shelter reads:

In the mid 90’s, 20 urban dancers join together for a three-day rehearsal in a closed-down boarding school located at the heart of a forest to share one last dance. They then make one last party around a large sangria bowl.

Quickly, the atmosphere becomes charged and a strange madness will seize them the whole night. If it seems obvious to them that they have been drugged, they neither know by who nor why. And it’s soon impossible for them to resist to their neurosises and psychoses, numbed by the hypnotic and the increasing electric rythm of the music… While some feel in paradise, most of them plunge into hell.

Noé’s last film, the 3D erotic love story “Love,” was released in 2015 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival. According to Tax Shelter, Noé should be wrapping up production on his latest film this spring, which means a 2018 release date isn’t out of the question. Expect more details soon.

I love Gaspar Noe films I can not wait

[mikesncc1701]

Hell yes! Now there's that domestic blu for LOVE

[sandman slim]

Right. Still haven't seen Love; the US release got cancelled & the others are all region-locked. Would also commit raw, bloody fire extinguisher murder for a US/region free deluxe Blu of Irreversible.

Gaspar is just an amazing director.

Yeah I still need to catch up with Love as well. This definetly sounds like Noe's wheelhouse though, it's got to go someway to top Enter the Void.

Agree on every point.

I am very excite. Enter The Void is one of the most OTT and overwhelming cinema experiences ever.

I bought Love on 3D bluray to watch on my PSVR.

It's.......an interesting experience.

Love is on netflix for anyone who hasn't seen it yet.

Wait, what?! I could swear that I just searched for it.

Damn, you're right. Thanks, man!

So...like Enter The Void? Visual and audio wise, I presume.

I haven't seen it, but I would shocked if it resembled Enter The Void. Then again, what do I know?

Enter The Void was like going into another dimension. If Love is remotely like that, I will be shocked. But like I said, what do I know?

[Creed]

Gotta check out Enter The Void soon.

Haven't watched Love, but there are some interesting....scenes.

Why would you ever want to watch Irreversible again? That is the definition of watch once and never watch again for any reason whatsoever.

Never watched the film and although I know about the scenes, the extinguisher scene was really unsettling.

Damn you Daft Punk for that haunting score during the scene!

Irreversible is an astounding piece of filmmaking, imo one of the best movies ever made. Shocking? Disturbing? Hard to watch? Yes on all counts, and all in service to a great story... which is exactly what makes it a movie worth rewatching multiple times. Unlike the next torture porn sequel, the violence actually has consequences.

Speaking of this, anyone here know if the Australian Gryphon Entertainment releases of Irreversible, I stand Alone, and Love are region A compatible? I've given up all hope on any further Noe films being released on blu in the USA.

[prkchopexpress]

totally down for this. think love may be his best movie. it's criminal that there is not a blu release in the us
