Nah. Irreversible just seems to me like a very poor film with a few decent ideas. Nothing about it interests me, the shakey and spinning camera is sickening, the content is boring, the whole thing looks like it was dipped in a toilet. I just don't know what angle to appreciate it from. I will say I haven't seen it in a long, long time, since it first came out on DVD, but I doubt I'd like it very much today either. I thought the backwards thing was a silly gimmick; seeing the fucked-up stuff before the boring stuff didn't really have any different of an impact than if we had seen all the boring shit and then the "CRAZY DISTURBING" stuff. Just a silly little film, not shocking, not disturbing, not entertaining -- just nothing to enjoy about it. Ohhh, and that's the critical defense... "it's not made to be enjoyed!" Cool, then I'm glad it exists, but I don't want to watch it again.

But I still have hope for Noe. His new one is supposedly nearly 3 hours long and is supposedly one big disconnected acid trip, so um.. that might be fun. I don't like any of his shorts -- especially the one on Destricted which was HORRIBLE, as was that whole film -- but ...

 

I still have hope.
