That movie is simply amazing in style and is a visual tour de force!
The rape scene is one of the few few times that I felt uneasy watching a movie. I can watch A Serbian Film or August Underground and not flinch but Irreversible's rape sequence was quite disturbing. I hope Palisades Tartan release it on bluray soon.

I'm exactly the same nekro. I watched A Serbian Film for the first time last night & it didn't trouble me to much, but I still find Monica Bellucci rape in Irreversible tough to sit through.

Defo, I think it's also got to do with the length of the scene too. Nine minutes I believe.

I totally agree with all of you, that rape scene is still the most disturbing thing I've had to sit through. Just too real for my liking., really hard to watch and it made me so angry cos I just wanted to help her and beat that a hole to death.

Not only is the rape scene a difficult watch, but so is the frenzied attack in the club using, if I remember correctly, a fire extinguisher.

Yeah. The thing that makes it so harrowing for me is that it's all done in one take and you can really see the deterioration of his face with every impact. I haven't watched Irriversible for years actually, might watch it this weekend.
