Irreversible

Irréversible

Gaspar Noé  ·  France  ·  2002

DramaCrimeThriller 2000s

Told in reverse chronological order, the film unfolds backward from two men's brutal and bloody rampage through a Paris nightclub to the events that drove them there — including a savage sexual assault of one man's girlfriend. As the timeline reverses, the horror gives way to glimpses of tender everyday happiness, making the tragedy all the more devastating. A formally radical and intentionally harrowing provocation, the film explores violence, time, and the irreversibility of fate.
