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.

One of the most impactful movies I’ve ever seen. Love Gaspar Noe
i love controversy , prepare to feel sick!
One of the greatest films ever made
trash
Glad I watched it as originally intended (as opposed to the "Straight" version). That being said it is a bit hard to take. Wasn't sure I'd make it through the rape scene. Not my favorite "revenge" film but it's a great cast and I liked the art-house grittiness. Doubt I'd ever re-watch.
