Irreversible begins with the closing credits running backwards before the film begins (or ends) with Marcus (Vincent Cassell) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel) being escorted out of a gay S&M club by the cops, Marcus with his arm broken and Pierre in handcuffs. The "story" proceeds to unwind in a series of single-take scenes that unfold Memento-style, with each scene giving more context to what we have seen previously. Each scenario depicts actions, dialogue, incident, behavior, and circumstances that the lead characters might have wished didn't happen, ranging from extreme violence through awkward social situations to mild embarrassment. The central character (and possible dreamer of this whole what-if story) emerges as Alex (Monica Bellucci), who suffers the worst in a very hard-to-watch rape sequence in an underpass. Semi-improvised, the scenes all have attack and power as themes, with later/earlier conversational sequences that suggest life isn't all sexual assaults in the dark, showing equal cinematic imagination with the horrors. Arguably, this is not a film most would subject themselves to twice, but it is something that stays in the mind for days after viewing, sparking far more ideas and emotions than most wallow-in-nastiness pictures. --Kim Newman

Whoa...........
And I mean whoa..............
(I'm gonna keep this short & sweet)
Everything about this flick will make you sick,

the backwards story,
the MOTHER of all death scenes,
the brutal, unflinching rape scene (and the guy who runs away after witnessing it),
the empty feeling of uselessness you get after watching it,
the terrible, terrible irony of it all.
There is an unshakable feeling that ... Read More

Written, directed, edited, and photographed by the Argentinian-born French Gaspar Noe and released in 2002. Irreversible starts from where Noe's previous work (Seul Contre Tous) left us, and with the same character: the butcher; only to diverge shortly after into a separate entity.
"Irreversible" is not by any mean a linear continuum to "Seul Contre Tous" but the initial (and only) sequence featuring the previous protagonist would emphasize the fact that Irreversible will deal with a similar ... Read More

The intensity of this film is so ravenous that I don't think I'll be watching this again anytime soon. Gaspar Noe who has given us "Un contre tous" has raised his shock level once again.
It is hard to shake me up in front of a movie or TV screen, but Irreversible did it. Five rock solid stars for an unforgettable atmosphere, nauseating camera moves, a non linear film structure, meticulous direction and the usual rock solid performance by Vincent Kassel.

Judging by the great amount of reviews, it is obvious for me that, either loving it or hating it, this film does indeed "scar" (as David Fincher would put it) the viewer. The fact that some people couldn't stand the agitated camera work or the extreme violence, doesn't mean it is a bad film; such clasification is rather superficial, for the true value of a cinematic experience doesn't rely on the lack (or for that matter, the amount) of violence. There are notable examples of great films, both with ... Read More

THIS WAS A POORLY DIRECTED AND EDITED FILM THAT MADE ME FEEL AS IF I WERE
ON A ROLLERCOASTER. ALSO WITH TODAYS TECH THIS DVD COULD HAVE OFFERED THE

HOWEVER THAT WAS NOT ENOUGH TO SAVE THIS FILM
