Not long into Don't Think — a Chemical Brothers film — viewers will resemble Steve Carell in Anchorman: “LOUD! NOISES!” The superstar DJs are unparalleled deliverers of big-beat electronica and jaw-dropping light shows. Innovatively shot, it’s neither a documentary nor extended flashmob ad. It’s a front-seat, gurn-tastic ticket to their Fuji Rock show complete with hilarity, intimacy, fear, love and — above all — chemicals. This visceral ride captures the hands-aloft essence of live dance; the euphoria building to such a crescendo the screen no longer acts as a barrier. The sensory overload would only increase if your popcorn were laced with MDMA; you literally feel the noise. Without saying a word, Don’t Think speaks volumes.
