Irreversible



This is yet another film that intrigues the viewer by showing sequences in reverse order.  It begins by showing a fiance trying to locate the person resposible for raping and killing his girlfriend.  It's film not for the faint of heart though.... it has many violent scenes including one of the longest rape scenes in film history.  On the other hand, it's a wonderfully shot film with many twists and turns and as it gradually resolves to the beginning we learn more details.  It doesn't deserve the repuatation as a film to avoid simply because of the violence because the story line is brilliant and almost too realistic.  It can make the viewer feel very uncomfortable at times but it's still a wonderful work of art.
