The enfant-terrible of French cinema, GASPAR NOÉ, is well known for his transgressive provocations, for exploiting the darker shades of contemporary reality, and for pushing sensation to the limit of experience physically, sensually, and socio-politically in his films Irreversible and Seul Contre Tous (I Stand Alone). His upcoming film, Enter the Void, continues this journey into darkness, following a brother and sister through their ordeals in Tokyo and Vancouver.

OLYMPIA LE-TAN — OK, let’s start.
GASPAR NOE — You’re giggling already!

OLYMPIA LE-TAN — No, I’m not! I’m very serious about this! Could you tell me a little bit about your childhood and your family?
GASPAR NOE — Well, I was born in Buenos Aires at the end of 1963. Shortly afterwards my parents moved to New York.
