The film has a great narrative of history, presented in reverse. This option is harrowing once shows how sadistic they could have changed everything. Gaspar Noe chooses to set up a few but large monoplanes trying to give the psychology of his heroes through the movement of the camera. Objectively, the rape scene is incredibly worked and interpretation Bellucci very good despite the "difficult task... read more

Lives up to the title.

This film was extremely brutal from the off. After a swirling and aimless piece of camera work the story begins - at the end. The technique used for this film is anachronistic in that the tragic finale of the film is shown first, then the next scene shows what happens in the build up to the current scene. It's a technique that works remarkably well and is one of the reasons the film is so poignant... read more

If you're reading this, you most likely have an idea by now of what this film is, what it contains, and how it is achieved. Curiosity finally got the better of me too, and I'd be lying if I didn't say a large part of me regrets it. I do not, however, wish to blame the film-maker, as given the content and message behind the movie, I can't think of any way to improve upon the ultra-tragic nightmaris... read more

Movies that made me furious... (8 movies items)

"Tragedy is, then, an enactment of a deed that is important and complete, and of magnitude, by means of language enriched , each used separately in the different parts : it is enacted, not recited, and through pity and fear it effects relief (catharsis) to such emotions. If you don't put that in the right order, you just get frustrated... "

MUTILATION

“is all this movie is about.

mutilation of time(starting with the end of the night and going backwards), mutilation of space(with chaotic camera movements that leave you really dizzy) mutilation of the characters(going down to the deepest/darkest places of human nature), mutilation of the storyline, mutilation of sound, mutilation of...bodies.

"time destroys all things", just like this movie destroys every one of its elemnts, to give a very strong, unmerciful tale of revenge and the "value of life".” read more

"Gaspar Noe is definitely one of the most daring film makers alive and Irreversible is one of the most controversial movies of it's time and rightly so considering it's themes and dark and sickening yet captivating story. Film doesn't save viewer from any cruelty and the long rape scene is without a doubt one of the most emotionally devastating scenes in movie history. Even the ending or should I say beginning doesn't give any salvation from the agony, it more likely steals it away due the inspir"
