Irreversible

[Ronin_]

Have any of you seen this film? I watched it last night and was truly shocked. The most shocking film I think I have seen

You mean like the one you rented me about women's feet Chip?

It's a rape revenge story, told backwards, and is hugely controversial due to the rape scene which is 9 minutes long and v v harrowing, and also the most stomach churning murder I've ever seen

It's really powerful and shows you the consequences and sheer violence of these things which we read about all the time, and barely flinch at now

Doesnt sound like a movie I would want to watch. Hell, I cant even stand to watch 8mm (with Nic Cage) anymore.

ronin, how does it compare to the movie 'i spit on your grave'? if you haven't seen it, it's another cinema verite/film noir cult classic that deals with savage rape and revenge.

btw, i don't watch foreign films. if i wanted to read i'd get a book. and besides the subtitles/translation are always way off...
