Review of Irreversible (2002) by Paul C — 27 Apr 2010
Hard to watch, extremely brutal, but well done film. Shot in a series of long, long tracking shots and takes (or takes stitched together digitally). Plays in reverse order a la "Memento". Be warned - the first 1/2 hr or so was reportedly designed intentionally to induce physical unease and vertigo - so take your Dramamine.
Definitely not for all tastes. There are some very, very brutal scenes - but they are extremely effective and do not feel gratuitous. Nonetheless, I can not stress enough that this film is not for everyone.
