French film, think was shown at Cannes this year: Irreversible.
If I tell you too much about it, it will spoil its uniqueness. Just to say it is extremely violent, difficult to work out why what is happening is happening at first. This may sound obvious, but you need to stick with it to find out, however, because of the way it is presented you may not want to. The presentation takes over from the story in the end - it should leave you feeling, well, something - whether that is repulsion, admiration or something else, you won't leave it without having some form of emotion about what you have just seen.....
If you search the web you can find out more about the film - my view is that you will get more out of the film if you don't read up on it beforehand. All you need to know is that it is brutally violent, but that this is a necessary part of the story. See first - read about after.
