black_matter Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 It's a really harrowing but brilliant film. I was reluctant to watch it after hearing some friends views because they didn't liked but I was mesmerized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKMartin Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Avoid irriversible at all costs, if you're twisted enough to want to watch realistic murders or rapes I'm sure you could find the real deal on the internet somewhere.I think the director's motivation was thus: if you want to make a film about a rape, then you ought to depict a rape. Typical movie rape sequences last 30 seconds, are tastefully framed, and conveniently fade out of shot fairly quickly. Hardly realistic. Gaspar Noe has made his reputation on being confrontational and provoking reactions.I'm not sure if I'd endorse his position or not.AKM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big D Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I think it shows huge diversity for Noton's part. Look at how wimpy and geeky he is as Tyler in Fight Club and then at how fucking nails he is in AHX. I would agree that it is so popular for the extreme violence but still a top movie in my opinion.

Spoonie Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 as has been said the score is a beast of a norton performance too. not a bad film in general, tbh. and AHX is quality. not seen irriversible, but it doesn't sound hugely appealing. what about baise moi if we're gonna get into rape-scene-ville. /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 how many people watch these movies based entirely on there being a rape scene? get real, it's not like you get a 'rape' shelf to accompany the comedy/horror/children's sections at blockbuster.

Guest Jake Wifebeater Posted October 31, 2006 Report Share Posted October 31, 2006 what about baise moi if we're gonna get into rape-scene-ville.I still think the worst one is in "Scum", when the poor kid gets triple dry-arsed in the greenhouse. The worst bit is the officer watching through the window and grinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
