Review of Irreversible (2002) by Grant S — 03 Nov 2014
Brutal, visceral, brilliant. Borrowing from Christopher Nolan's Memento.
(my 2nd favourite movie), Gaspar Noe's Irreversible tells its story.
Backwards. Starting with the latest scene, and then moving backwards in.
Time, it is incredibly effective.
Like Memento, the plot would have been superb in normal forward order,.
Yet in backward order it is even better.
Excellent direction from Gaspar Noe helps too. Very gritty action.
Scenes, and good build up of tension, backwards.
Monica Bellucci is stunningly beautiful and brilliant. Vincent Cassel.
And Albert Dupontel are solid.
Great, very original movie.
