I thought Irreversible was pretty nauseating. I guess I see the point in dragging out that scene, but it's still gratuitous in my mind. Mainly in the sense that a lot of sick fucks probably like it for the wrong reason and get really off on it. The very end where the guy's face gets annihilated is pretty brutal as well. Shit, I really never need to see that movie again. How the fuck can someone own that on DVD? Why a desire for repeated watching??? Eegads.
Wait, you mean it's not a good date movie? Shoot...
I actually bought it, but only because DD-DVD was having a huge sale and I got it fer cheep. Finally watched it yesterday mostly due to this thread. Besides the time reversal gimmick and French art-house veneer, I though that flick was at it's heart just b-movie trash (which I love). Yes, the rape is effectively disgusting, but it fails miserably as a revenge movie given that you see the retribution before the fact. Actually, I found the interminable discussion of sexuality on the metro even more retardedly nauseating than the rape itself. As far as rape/revenge flix go I'd opt for I Spit On Your Grave as number one, with Ms. 45 second place in a photo finish.
completely missed the point of the movie...it's not a rape/revenge flick; it's a life is fucked, make the most of it and enjoy the good parts as much as you can flick
the dude's face got destroyed at the beginning of the movie as well
