On Sunday we watched Irréversible. It was possibly the most disturbing film I have ever seen. I was depressed all day on Monday and then cried when I got home from work.
Has anyone seen it? I honestly thought I'd never get over the effect it had one me. I also thought I was going to vomit whilst watching it.

Yes, it had that effect on me. I shan't be watching it again. A friend of mine took a date to see it - he thought it'd be a sexy French oolala film - needless to say, it wasn't a successful date.

Well I thought it was better than the first two prequels. Considerably better in fact. But still piss compared to the originals.
Oh fuck! I couldn't watch - hid under the covers, but of course, even with my fingers in my ears and my eyes covered, I'd already seen too much. I think it's kind of worth seeing though.Orang Utan said:
Purves, it's about a really really violent awful rape. The film is shown in reverse... events that happened in the evening before the rape. It was a really really well made film actually, just incredibly disturbing. The fact that it was shown in reverse changes your emotional response to things quite a lot. For example, the rapist gets battered to death right at the beginning of the film - I couldn't watch that bit either, it was really gruesome - but had it been the other way round, that is, he gets battered to death at the end, I'm pretty sure the violence would have had a different effect on me.

The life Aquatic.
Looked fantatic, was pretty damn good (I wanted to watch it the next day again but held back).
Shame about the bit just before the ending. Stopped it from being a truly great film. It just didn't take it anywhere.

I think it might have been worse that episode 1. I don't want to watch them all again to test that out though.
I watched the origonals last year again, and now I'm not 10 anymore they were dull as fuck.
Yeah it was good, although if we're talking about that style of slightly 'wacky' films, I would argue that I Heart Huckabees was even better.
Although I think I loved IHH so much because it reminded me of people I know IRL...

Is it the rapist who gets battered? I got the impression that they got the wrong man? I don't want to watch it again to find out.tastebud said:

No way. Episode I was much worse. And the originals are still great.

I heart Huckabees is indeed better but different I think (I know where you are coming from though).
Rushmore is maybe my favorate Wes film but the life aquatic had a style that could only be made not only with talent but lots and lots of money. Money that anderson would not have had on his first two (propper) films. Bottle Rocket does have wes style but it obviouisly a much much much cheaper production.
Obviously.
it was the friend* who did the battering, and yes, the rapist. i think. i couldn't watch it... but i checked with ba when it finished and that's what he said. god... i really hope it wasn't the wrong guy.Orang Utan said:
i'm gonna go a googling.*the ex bf, friend of them both.
edit: god, you're right

i couldn't watch the rape scene or the battering at the beginning, so missed quite a bit of it!
Was it made in some kind of competition for 'most depressing film ever' in an attempt to beat Lilja 4 Ever and Requiem for a Dream? Actually it sounds much worse than the latter, which is basically about pretty boy middle class americans who choose to fuck themslves up...

That is the worst Asuka ever.

thing is orang utan, when you see the battering scene at the beginning you have no idea what's actually going on. so unless you're really good with faces, you wouldn't necessarily match the face of the guy who doesn't get battered, with the rapist. wikipedia imply that the guy that goes to the entrance of the subway and then walks away (at the rape scene) is the guy that gets killed. but why!? and how would you know that?
weird film. almost like they want you to go back and watch it again. which many many people wouldn't dream of doing i should imagine.

Superman Returns.
I fell asleep halfway through it, woke up on the couch at 7 this morning and found that the DVD had kept looping all night and I was - give or take 5 minutes - back at the place where I had fallen asleep previously.
Watched it to the end and decided I had been better off sleeping.
Not interesting enough to be bad, just terminally dull.
I think at least 50% of that dullness comes straight from the fact that Superman is easily the most boring superhero ever anyway - something that wasn't obvious as a child, but is clear as day now.
Worst film Singer has done at any rate - I cannot believe he chose that over X3
