Enter the Void (2009)

Ambitious! It's a shame it's basically unwatchable. From what I'd read, I thought the film's "ghostly" POV would be what was off-putting, but it actually kind of works. The problem is everything else. It's a giant mess of flat characters, terrible acting and shitty storytelling.
