Irreversible is a film written, directed, edited & photographed by Gaspar Noé. It is considered to be one of the most controversial & disturbing films ever made, due to its explicit on-camera depiction of rape & a vengeful murder. The film has also been compared to Memento & Peppermint Candy, since both films use a reverse chronology ; they are told backwards. The story is of two men who seek revenge following the rape of Marcus girlfriend, who is also the ex-girlfriend of Pierre. The film is set in Paris over the course of one day. The story is told in reverse chronology in thirteen sections each around five minutes in length. The beginning of the film contains many distorted images & rapidly, freely moving & rotating cameras creating a sense of chaos. Over the course of the film the imagery becomes steadily calmer, intending to reinforce the tagline of the film, that over time things become more chaotic. Two men, Marcus & Pierre, are led out of a gay sex club, Rectum, by police. Earlier that evening, they arrived at the club in a frantic search for a pimp nicknamed Le Tenia. Posters Of Irreversible
