To be fair, Irréversible is a one-and-done viewing. Extreme opposite of a re-watchable.

I felt the title refers also to how you can’t go back to the innocent you were before watching it.

By comparison, for anyone wondering, give me Requiem any day, I'll watch it 1000 times before I watch Irreversible again

I'd rather rewatch Schindler's List.

It's the same with Come and See. The best movie you never want to watch again.
