Irreversible: Time Awareness, Something SO Precious:
(Title LINK is in French Sub-Title)
2002/NR/Horror/Psychological
"Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass. Her boyfriend and ex-lover take matters into their own hands by hiring two criminals to help them find the rapist so that they can exact revenge. A simultaneously beautiful and terrible examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect, and how time destroys everything." ~ Irreversible (2002)
HQ Thoughts: This film takes you backwards through horrible events that take place within a day. An unlucky woman carries on as usual while destiny awaits her with bad consequences. Irreversible is TRULY a visual masterpiece making you take in every aspect of the film as it is necessary to appreciate the ending. The ending, in all honesty, is actually the beginning that will shock you dearly. Some may find it disturbing, especially the long and especially brutal rape scene which stamps this film with the title "Horror"! I only watched it once, it is forever ingrained in my memory, the turn of events are just... *sigh*
