"I’ll watch Enter the Void every Sunday for the rest of my life just cause I need that kind of experience in my head." David
Gordon Green (Your Highness, Pineapple Express)
Ryan Gosling (Drive) : "Je serais très heureux si je pouvais ne travailler qu'avec [Derek Cianfrance aux Etats-Unis et Nicolas Winding Refn en Europe]. Il y en a d'autres évidemment, comme Gaspar Noé en Europe. J'ai vu tous ses films : c'est un réalisateur poète et il a des putains de couilles." (source)
English translation :
Ryan Gosling (Drive) : "I'd be happy if I could only work with [Derek Cianfrance in US and Nicolas Winding Refn in Europe]. There are others, of course, like Gaspar Noé in Europe. I have seen all his movies : he's a poet director and has fucking balls." (source)
Xavier Gens : “If you watch ‘Irreversible’ or ‘Enter the Void’ (both from Gaspar Noé), there are people who think it is genius – I think it is genius – but you will
have people who think it is very bad, but I think it is because they cannot accept and cannot deal with it.” (source)
Christopher Smith (about Triangle)
"Prenez
un film comme Irréversible, de Gaspar Noé : la construction narrative est passionnante. Bizarrement, j'accroche moins à Enter The Void : j'adore pendant pendant 1H40, notamment quand on suit le
mec de dos. C'est génial.
Puis, je décroche quand la caméra flotte au-dessus de Tokyo. Les mouvements de caméra répétés jusqu'à l'épuisement, ça va quelques minutes. Sur une heure, c'est indigeste. Mais ce n'est pas à moi de dire ce que Gaspar Noé aurait dû faire : c'est lui l'artiste sur ce coup !" (source)
Theophilus London :
"Yeah, I did watch [Enter the Void] during the recording process, and
then I kept talking about it, and in a matter of two weeks I became good friends with the two leading actors in the film, Nathan Brown and Paz de la Huerta. That was kind of surreal.
I started going to clubs with them, doing psychedelics with them, and then all of a sudden I shot my video [for “Last Name London” with Mr. Brown as producer]. [One night] he was like, “Yo,
Gaspar’s out with us at a bar, do you want to hang out with us?” I turned the offer down. I just don’t want to sit down and be bro with him and have a beer with him. I just want to idolize him,
as a director." (source)
Read on Spinoff Online :
"Tarsem Singh directing his own take on Snow White is certainly a compelling thought. [...] The film doesn’t have a title yet, though Tarsem told Spinoff Online at WonderCon that it’s not
his intention to deliver an “edgy” take on the classic fairy tale.
“Edgy for who? Edgy for Disney? Edgy for Gaspar Noe? Edgy for me? Edgy for who?” he said. “[My Snow White] will not be hardcore. I want
to embrace the family in that.” Not too family-friendly though; we also spoke with Collins at WC, who said that Snow isn’t some helpless damsel-in-distress."
You like famous quotes ? Us too ! Another recent one ?
“Enter the Void” was great, that’s a masterpiece. What’s wrong with that? It was in one theater but it’s terrific." (Lloyd Kaufman for Cinespect)
"Le milieu du cinéma français est un milieu bourgeois, qui n'arrive pas à reconnaître un talent comme celui de Gaspar Noé."* (Vincent Cassel for Studio CinéLive via Pure People)
*"The French movie business is a middle class, who can not recognize a talent like Gaspar Noé.")
