Irr»versible
filed under: Sundance Film Festival 2003
Holy All Things Unholy! Told backward, this flick starts out with two guys searching S&M clubs for the guy who raped one of their wives--the gorgeous Monica Bellucci. After they kill the wrong guy, we roll back to the reason they're on the hunt and we see Monica's nine-minute, unflinching anal rape scene. If you can make it to the end, Irreversible redeems itself and shows that the graphic rape scene served a purpose beyond mere gratuitous nudity. Mmm... gratuitous nudity.
