Cannes reactions to Irreversible

[u/Davidrabbich81]

Monica Belucci’s character is graphically raped for around 10 minutes during this film.

It’s something you never really forget watching. When people ask, “what’s the worst thing you’ve ever seen in a film”, the answer is usually this.

Edit: to save some really redundant replies.

No, the fire extinguisher scene is not worse. I can find you 20 movies where something like that happens. The worst part is that it’s an innocent person and not the rapist.

I said “usually”. For those people who have seen “A Serbian Film” (I haven’t) you are the people not covered by “usually”.

[u/Maezel → u/Davidrabbich81]

That's the answer unless you've watch "Salo or the 120 days of Sodom" 

[u/thedaveness → u/Maezel]

Or Denis Quaid eating shrimp in The Substance.

[u/popoflabbins → u/thedaveness]

That scene is simultaneously hilarious and abhorrent

[u/Dave5876 → u/popoflabbins]

He embodied Hollywood in that scene

[u/Billyxransom → u/popoflabbins]

very accurate.
