Irreversible is perhaps one of the cruelest films ever made. Marcus (Vincent Cassel) and Pierre (Albert Dupontel) set off on a blind rage of revenge after the former’s girlfriend Alex (Monica Bellucci) is raped. The twist is that their revenge spools out in reverse. Noé structured his notorious shocker around his stars Cassel and Bellucci, the most beautiful real-life couple of '90s European cinema, trading on their popularity and charisma to make their violent descent even more assaulting.
