Review of Irreversible (2002) by Lauren D — 09 Sep 2010
Supposedly, there is some sound thing in the background that causes nausea and vertigo in some people. The noise is kind of annoying, but I didn't experience these things. I've never been disgusted of shocked by anything in movies, but the fire extinguisher scene and the rape scene actually made me go 'Um.
.. you can stop now'. I wasn't 'sickened' or anything, but the *awesome* long takes really add to the atmosphere. I love long takes, mainly because it feels like you are there and it's really happening.
The rape scene for example goes for like 10 minutes, and you watch all of it. So the fact that it actually made me feel slightly uncomfortable is huge praise because nothing bothers me. The backwards story telling is interesting and works well.
