This is not a movie to watch lightly. I have not seen anything like it, nor do I think I care to in the future. Complicated, and told in an unconventional manner, this French film is disturbingly graphic and often times difficult to sit through due to both the shooting style as well as the content. Starring Vincent Cassel and Monica Bellucci, this story of a brutal rape and subsequent quest for revenge is told in reverse chronological order. Bellucci, no stranger to taking on the challenge of emotionally difficult violent roles, shines in her time on screen and her performance will unnerve you. This is an uncomfortable movie to watch, and as the screen goes black you will be left sitting on your couch feeling like your gut has been wrenched through your mouth.
I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.
