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.

Watching a pregnant lady getting savagely rapped and then beaten to a pulp is not my thing. I didn't enjoy this movie
A masterpiece of disorientating savagery...lingers in the mind long afterwards.
Saw this originally on video. Not really horror but a really well done mainstream clever arthouse stuff being done at the time.
Definently one of the most nightmarish films of its type. Its a hard bullet of a movie, bottom line, period. But its one hell of an experience to watch it.
