00:00At the Cannes Film Festival, this film was deemed so violent that some people left the theater immediately.
00:05I make a video about the Cannes Film Festival every day until Dailymotion invites me to
00:08Cannes Film Festival.
00:10So.
00:10In Cannes, some films are shocking, and then there's Irreversible.
00:14In 2002, Gaspar Noé presented a film designed to challenge the viewer.
00:18Everything is designed to create discomfort.
00:20The camera keeps rolling, the sound is aggressive.
00:23The story goes back in time and above all, the violence is direct, brutal, impossible to avoid.
00:28And some scenes are unbearable to watch.
00:31It's a film starring Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel.
00:34It follows a night in Paris where two men seek to avenge a woman's V.
00:38And what is very disturbing is this scene of V lasting approximately 9 to 11 minutes.
00:43During the screening in Cannes, several spectators left the theater.
00:45The unease is real, and so is the rejection.
00:48But that's exactly what Gaspard Noé is looking for.
00:50To force the audience to feel, not just to watch.
00:53And even today, Irreversible remains one of the most harrowing films ever shown at Cannes.
