IRREVERSIBLE (2002)

​FILM GUTTER
COME ON IN, THE WATER’S VIOLENT

Picture
Dir. Gaspar Noe,
France, 97 mins
As a reviewer, there are of course movies that you’ve seen before that you have to revisit in order to provide a proper review. Many reviewers would probably look forward to that, but when you dive into extreme cinema there are less fond memories and sense of nostalgia than I expect would be the case elsewhere. Often you actively dread coming back. Admittedly, some lose their impact a second time around – A Serbian Film felt like a very notable example, coming off a little silly once that initial shock value has worn off. Some are not quite as bad as you recall, but still have an effect on the rewatch. A handful literally lose nothing in the intervening time – and Irreversible has lost nothing of its crunch fifteen years on from its initial release.

Come on in, the water's just lovely...

Dir. Diego Cohen, Mexico, 96 mins

Ah, Valentine's Day. The perfect time for romance. Of course I type this sitting at home on my own (all together... aaahhhhh....) having just taken on Film Gutter's Valentine's viewing, Luna De Miel. This is a movie I remember spying the trailer for a while back, and liking the look of, but I do have rather a bad habit of losing track of release dates and so forth. Plus I watch a great number of trailers. Anyway, cut a long story short, this one suddenly popped up on Netflix and, inspired by the love in the air, I thought this one would be a good shout for this week's Film Gutter....
