Climax title sequence

Psychological horror film Climax follows a dance company as they descend into a violent party, fuelled by hallucinogenic drugs.

Appearing 40 minutes into the film, the pulsating title sequence is the second collaboration between graphic designer Tom Kan and film director Gaspar Noé. Noé shot and edited the dance sequence to Thomas Bangalter’s ‘What To Do’, initially locking in the pace of the credits with a simple typeface. These were then replaced with Kan’s vibrant custom graphics.

As an homage to the film’s creative team, each individual’s name appears in its own unique font, inspired by their role in the film.

Director: Gaspar Noé.
Titles Designer: Tom Kan.
