Oscar and his sister Linda are recent arrivals in Tokyo. Oscar's a small time drug dealer, and Linda works as a nightclub stripper. One night, Oscar is caught up in a police bust and shot. As he lies dying, his spirit, faithful to the promise he made his sister - that he would never abandon her - refuses to abandon the world of the living. It wanders through the city, his visions growing evermore distorted, evermore nightmarish. Past, present and future merge in a hallucinatory maelstrom.

This is the new film from Irreversible director, Gaspar Noe. It's been on the festival circuit for a little while, and IFC Films just recently bought the US distribution rights.

I've been looking forward to this one for a while. So far it seems to be really dividing audiences. People either absolutely love it or totally hate it. One thing that most everyone agrees with is that the opening credits sequence is spectacular. Here it is:

Just watched Irreversible by Gaspar Noe... one helluva flick. I think its the best movie I don't ever want to see again. A couple very disturbing scenes, the camera use was a very interesting choice, luckily im not one to get nauseous. Most scenes were shot in one long expansive scene some ten or fifteen minutes long.

Anyone else see the this?

all I can say is I hope Enter The Void is alot better than Irreversible. Couldn't get into it at all... the end of the first scene (club scene) was the best part in the whole movie, and actually had me anticipating the rest, but it was downhill from there. Camerawork didnt bug me, & the continuous camera shot in each scene was actually pretty good. I just thought it dragged most scenes way too long & muddied them up more than it needed to.

Lead actress chick is a hottie, & the rape scene was hard to watch but that wasn't what made me say "this movie sucks"... the movie as a whole, just pretty much sucked.

Depressing with nothing to gain and no other real message besides "revenge."

I found Irreversible to be thoroughly engaging. I've read that director Gaspar Noe regards Irreversible as practice for Enter The Void; especially in regard to technique. At the time, Noe wanted to make an artistic, pornographic melodrama starring married couple Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, but they weren't comfortable with it. So, on the fly he came up with a rough idea for a movie that ended up being Irreversible. Noe has again returned to the idea of making a porn. He says that will be his next project... oh, and he plans on shooting it in 3-D.

From what I've heard, Enter The Void's story and characters take a back seat to its visual aspects. So it's probably good to see it with this in mind. But then, Avatar had a rather simplistic and boring plot yet a lot of people loved that.
