Watch it at Amazon
4:00AM on a weeknight. Just finished watching this fantastic french film. Philosophical with an outlook on time passage, destiny, the future and the past, this films is a series of relatively and seemingly long shots that tell a violent story in reverse order. Gaspar Noe is a revelation with flawless directing and fine flawed characters. His writing includes good dialogue, substance and many nuances and subtleties. The morning bedroom --> kitchen --> bedroom --> bathroom --> washroom --> living room scene with Bellucci and Cassel is full of little things that enhance the experience with realism, flair and freshness.The film uses a lot of spiraling camera motion, as well as some pulsating light (and sound) and can be pretty dizzying. The one thing that is easy on the eyes is Monica Bellucci. As beautiful as she is however, it is difficult to watch the vicious rape scene that takes place.Nore plays with our emotions, with our minds, with our senses. A great filmmaker and a great film. Expect a demanding film, but do yourself a favour and don't miss out.What is time? What is time to us humans? These are the main questions this film asks. The only answer I have right now is : this movie is time well spent.
