Ordinary movie climax1/7/2023 What does that mean? Is it just the obvious fact that the characters in “Climax,” members of a dance troupe whose night of partying goes terribly awry, mostly speak French? Or that they gyrate, flirt, drink and fight in front of a giant tricolor flag? Is this a French movie because of its aggressive sexual candor? Because of the smoking? Because there’s a song by Air on the soundtrack? Because of the last-minute intervention of the state? Another proclaims (right side up) that “this is a French film, and proud of it.” “Death is an extraordinary experience,” declares one such text, printed upside down in both the center of the screen and the subtitles below.
