Irréversible
Synopsis

The film finds the right balance between the different phases of its story, its narrative structure and its alternately nervous, captivating and even sensual direction. Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel and Albert Dupontel throw themselves wholeheartedly into this radical adventure, and are absolutely stunning.
