Irreversible (2002)
2/10
A display of flesh under an anachronistic cliché
31 January 2009
Warning: Spoilers
There is nothing much to this film. Towards the ending scene where the couple were cuddling in bed I came to feel that the display of human flesh and private parts in this film had gone on the excessive side of things (not that they were not aesthetically appealing or attractive, but you know......). Looks more like a mild porno film to me, with conspicuous efforts to flash out human genitals (Think we saw those of about 10 people throughout the 1.5 hour?). Telling the story in a complacent effort of a reversed chronology does not help at all. Instead, this has led to one very major anti-climax in movie history and as the story unfolded itself to tell what happened before and before, I got more and more bored and less and less eager to know, thanks to the prior confession of it all right in the beginning and the middle of the movie that has sucked up pretty much all the mystery and hype.
