Irreversible
dir. Gaspar Noé

7 sourcesSynopsis
A woman’s lover and her ex-boyfriend take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a rapist. Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished.
Critics consensus
Though well-filmed, Irreversible feels gratuitous in its extreme violence.
