“Riveting, masterful cinema...It grabs you by the throat and never loosens its grip.”—Time Out New York
Gaspar Noé’s provocative and intense film is as formally audacious as it is repellently violent. Irreversible examines the events of a traumatic night in Paris, but the events unfold in reverse: two men kill another in a seedy nightclub; we see the act of violence that prompted the man's murder; and we go back further still. Irreversible is at once a sickening portrait of violence and a somber, even moving, meditation on the destructive passage of time.
This film contains EXPLICIT VIOLENCE and is FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
