Irreversible
Directed by Gasper Noe
French provocateur Gaspar Noe’s controversial arthouse thriller travels back in time to tell the story of a couple who experience an act of brutal violence that changes their lives forever. The film begins with the aftermath, as Marcus (Vincent Cassel, BLACK SWAN) hunts for the assailant in an S&M club, then jumps back to the tunnel where Alex (Monica Belucci, SPECTRE) is savagely attacked in one famously excruciating 9-minute shot. But the biggest shock comes at the end, which is actually the beginning of this savage story. Though the not-for-the-easily-triggered film bitterly divided audiences, it remains a must-see for fans of the Euro-shock era of the 2000’s.

im sorry but everyone who says this is brilliant?? where?? other then the film chronologically telling the story backwards?? its been done before. . . i was so bored and i kept watching it because most reviews kept talking about how good it was and how hard it was to watch. . . i didnt find either of those to be true. . . nothing about this movie was shocking to watch and the ending didnt break my heart!!! if you want true shock horror?? you want a movie thats hard to keep watching?? jack ketchum's The Girl Next Door. . . i only watched it one time and i know ill never be able to watch it again
Not for the faint of heart
Not sure how to rate this one. The directing, production etc was excellent. I adore Monica B. With that being said, the rape scene was the worst thing I have ever seen on film. I’m not for censorship but geez. I guess there are two ways to look at. One- it is gratuitous sexual violence 2. It shows how horrible rape is. I think because of the horrible experience I had watching it I have to give it one skull. That’s for me personally. To each it’s own
A Perfect Film 🐐
Innovative but it feels like an excuse for someone to film a graphic and realistic rape without repercussions.
