Review of Irreversible (2002) by Joe Morgenstern for Wall Street Journal — 26 Feb 2009
Noé;, with his Nietzsche-for-knuckleheads nihilism and extreme-cinema ambitions, clearly fancies himself a visionary, but mounting a camera on a roller coaster or putting a story into rewind doesn't make a film formally adventurous or interesting.
Conceiving of a gay club as an antechamber to the inferno and sexualizing a woman's rape, however, do make it titillating.
