SIMILAR PICKS / A PERSONAL CONNECTION
01
Why this pick
A dance company becomes the site of bodily discipline, ritual, and mounting dread. Its tactile sound design and feverish movement make it a strong companion to Climax’s performance-to-nightmare trajectory.
02
Why this pick
Its unbroken, real-time camera movement turns a spontaneous night out into breathless social and moral collapse, preserving Climax’s immersive momentum and sense of being trapped inside a bad decision.
03
Why this pick
An ostensibly festive gathering curdles into a raw, volatile group confrontation. The rough immediacy and shifting alliances echo Climax’s interest in communal celebration becoming emotional warfare.
04
Why this pick
A drug-fuelled night spirals through a relentless apparent single take. Its escalating panic, kinetic camera, and loss of social order make it especially apt for Climax’s sustained descent.
05
Why this pick
Shot to feel like one uninterrupted encounter, this is another suffocating study of a group feeding one another’s worst impulses. It shares Climax’s escalating, no-escape intensity.

01 / THE STORY
The film opens with Lou, one of the members of the troupe, bloody and crawling though the snow. After the Closing credits roll, it depicts a series of audition tapes, in which Choreography Selva and Disc jockey Daddy interview potential future members of a dance troupe they are creating. They discuss topics like dance, fears, relationships, sex and drug experiences. Later in an abandoned school, the collected dancers rehearse an elaborate routine before starting an after-party, partying, dancing and drinking sangria. The diverse group has several personal issues and share gossip about one another during the celebration.
