Review of Irreversible (2002) by Michael W — 19 Jun 2012

Not for the weak of heart or stomach. Extremely violent murder, and even worse rape scene. The swinging camera work in the first half hour is tough to get through too. The story itself it exceptionally simple, but the reverse chronology of the narrative shifts the focus on all the little things that happen along the way.

I'd hesitate to recommend this film because it has so much potential to offend, but I ended up liking it quite a bit.
