Short description
A woman’s lover and her ex-boyfriend take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a rapist. Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film gained notoriety due to two scenes: a seven-minute anal rape of Monica Bellucci's character, Alex, and the brutal murder of a patron in the gay club 'Rectum' (consisting of over twenty blows to the head with a fire extinguisher).
- The opening episodes of the film are layered with a nearly inaudible low-frequency sound, similar to the rumble of an earthquake. For many people, this noise causes anxiety, slight nausea, and dizziness. It is believed that the sound design of 'Irreversible' is the primary reason viewers walked out during the first thirty minutes of the movie. This is exactly the reaction director Gaspar Noé intended.
- The film's tagline, “Time destroys everything,” is the first phrase heard in the film, and also the last.
- The film's music was composed by Thomas Bangalter, a member of the electronic duo Daft Punk. In addition to the original score, Ludwig van Beethoven's Seventh Symphony and Gustav Mahler's Ninth Symphony are featured in the film.
