Movie Reviews of Irreversible
Movie Review: THIS MOVIE WILL CHANGE YOU!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whoa...........
And I mean whoa..............
(I'm gonna keep this short & sweet)
Everything about this flick will make you sick,
the unsteady floating camera,
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 stays with you long after you see this flick.
It punches a hole in your soul that leaves you feeling disheartened & alone.
Shaken & Empty.
Viewer discretion is STRONGLY advised.
This flick will change you.
That is something I have no doubt about.
You will positively not be the same after viewing this.
This is the cinematic knife that will scar you again & again.
MORAL OF THE STORY:
Vengeance reverses nothing
Summary of Irreversible
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 NewmanAlex and Marcus are a couple whose story is told over the course of a fateful evening in a series of long takes. An emotional odyssey that unspools in reverse from gut-wrenching violence to sweetly observed moments of sublime tenderness.System Requirements:Starring Albert Dupontel Monica Bellucci Vincent Cassel Directed by Noe Running time: 97 minutes Copyright Lion's Gate 2003Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR UPC: 658149815926 Manufacturer No: ST8159D
