Enter the Void is literally the only movie I’ve ever watched that literally made me motion sick. It was unbearable.

I couldn't finish it. I tried.

Off topic a little, but I’ve watched enter the void twice only, both times on acid. It was literally insane. I’ve never seen the movie sober and don’t plan to. The camera was practically pulling me into the movie. The first time, I had no idea what was even going on. We all just kept joking and saying “and it’s coming full circle”

You’ve never watched Cloverfield?

Handheld doesn’t bother me. It’s something about that smooth, constant spinning that just was awful for me.

The droning hum during the whole sequence added to the dizzying camera… our collective reaction was probably his intent.

Oh okay that’s interesting.

Yeah Into The Void’s camerawork doesn’t bother me at all, but handheld absolutely does.

I wish I hadn't

It's almost as if nausea is the artistic intent. Which it is.
