Synopsis:

New Straight Cut (86 min.) & Original Theatrical Version (93 min.). Call if the movie love affair dispossessed of the happy ending. The romance remembered at point omega. A nightmare, where the smoke never clears, the dust never settles. It's a reckoning now known as Irreversible. Since it exploded onto cinema screens in 2002, Irreversible, Gasper Noe's pulverising and extremist vision, with its operatic and total assault on the senses, has been recognised as a pioneering and relentless modern take on the journey from heaven to hell, delivered, however, as the ultimate form of supremely sustained reversal. Noe lays down the gauntlet. As opening sequences go, 'the poet of apocalyptic shock' offers a foreboding entrance into a hazardous world where monsters lurk and each of its characters has long been escorted down a path to their own doom, into a disorientating netherworld the camera plunges and with it Vincent Cassel. Beyond reasoning, his frenzied pursuit of a figure by the name Le Tenia, the incubus whose shadow darkens the unfolding nightmare from which the film takes its title and unyielding atmosphere, is akin to abseiling down into the pits of hell. There will be no returning: Only the past and the unforgettable events that have come before it.

Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass. Her boyfriend and ex-lover take matters into their own hands by hiring two criminals to help them find the rapist so that they can exact revenge. A simultaneously beautiful and terrible examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect, and how time destroys everything.
