Irreversible




If you've seen the Blair Witch Project and gotten a headache from the movements the camera make; this film is not for you. Cue the chaos and be prepared for some ultra violence. The film unfolds as Pierre and Marcus search for The Rectum, a gay bar. Confusion sets in. Pierre keeps telling Marcus to control himself and that this is not the way to exact revenge on someone. What is he seeking revenge for? You spend a good amount of time wondering as the film seems to play out in reverse. Along with confusion you get a good amount of irritation at the characters for their constant bickering and unwillingness to calm down. Why the hell is everyone so on the edge. Who the fuck has been hurt so badly that no one takes a brief moment to stop and think about what their doing.

Than comes a scene a very painful scene. A scene that will make sure you never walk alone in a dark tunnel ever again. A scene that answers for the questions you've been asking from the beginning of the film.

Than as the day continues to play in reverse you experience the relationships that hold the three main characters together. What seems tragic before getting to know Alex is even more so after the film has run its course.

This is a film worth seeing.
