'Irréversible' is considered to be one of the most controversial films of 2002, since it has strong scenes of rape and murder. Many people are saying about how the rape scene is violent and terrible, but in my opinion, the fire extinguisher scene is worse than the rape to watch.
The beginning of the movie, where Pierre and Marcus are in the ''Rectum'', let me very uncomfortable to watch, but I discovered in the trivia section that the set was indeed'' very cavernous and confusing, and that many of the crew members, became claustrophobic in it.''
The story is told backwards, what can make many people stay confuse about it.( I got confuse in the beginning of the movie,but nothing as watching the movie two times to understand it better)
The director's point in this film is that time destroys everything. The story starts with happiness and a nice relationship, and in the end, everything falls apart.Alex, raped and in coma, probably lost her baby and her aggressor stays alive and intact. (This shows how to have impulsive acts are terrible, and most of the time, ends in trouble)
The Plot: Alex and Marcus are a couple that are in love. Pierre is friend of both of them and Alex's ex boyfriend. One day, when the three of them are in a party,Alex stays angry with Marcus because he is using drugs.She then decides to go away from the party alone. Not finding any cab, she decides to enter in an underpass to go home. The rape takes place when Alex encounters Le Tenia beating a prostitute in the pedestrian underpass. Soon Le Tenia decides to harass Alex, that avoids him, until he anally rapes and beats her until she stays in coma. When Marcus and Pierre are going out from the party, they discover what happened to Alex, and both of them,specially Marcus, go after revenge to her aggressor.
