Too many films lately, including many mainstream comedies, have been showing full-genital nudity of males, but we never get female genital nudity. All we ever see of women are breasts, which is non-genital nudity, and certainly doesn't compare to male full genital nudity. So I'm glad there's a movie coming out that has lots of female nudity for a change...I only hope it shows full genital nudity of Paz de la heurta and that the MPAA is fair enough to give it an R-rating (like they do with male genital nudity) and that Noe doesn't chicken out and cut the nude scenes to appease the censors or distributors.

The medium is the message, and so is the aesthetic of how it's carried. I've heard reports that the movie makes no sense, judging from people who write about movies on the internet I cannot agree. I prefer to like films that use the visual impact of cinema (something that is short in supply) to push the medium forward, and Noe is very exciting in those respects. Could give a shit about anything at Cannes but Enter The Void is one to watch, for the emotional impact is part of the modus operandi.

In fact, I would argue he asks his audience to leave their emotions at the door. I have read that Enter the Void was submitted rather last minute and Noe still has editing to do. Do you think there could be a more "meaningful" version of the film released without losing the "impact" you speak of?
