Climax depicts the unhinged madness that takes over a dance troupe's party after a punchbowl of sangria is spiked with LSD. Beneath strobing lights and pounding music each dancer's psyche begins to crumble and creeping paranoia gives rise to a hallucinatory nightmare.

Legendary art-house provocateur Gaspar Noe delivers an intensely deranged and lurid orgy of sex, drugs and club music (featuring Cerrone, Daft Punk and Aphex Twin); taking us into the forbidden reaches of heaven and descending deep into hell.
