Yes, you're right, it is Irreversible - not the easiest of films to watch I grant you, what with the opening titles, the dizzying camera angles and the relentlessly pounding, nauseating low-frequency noise playing over the whole of the ultra-violent club scene..and all this before you even get to the fate of poor Ms Belucci's character! - little wonder then that according to Newsweek magazine this was the "most walked-out-of movie of the year" (2002). But having said all that, if you do make it to the penultimate scene, you are rewarded with a glimpse of true love and intimacy, played out as only a real-life couple could, which for me, puts the whole of the film into context and makes this one of the most powerful, thought-provoking movies, I have ever seen.
Ok, film review over - it's now your turn!

It is a hard movie to watch - in two particular places, as you know. But it's interesting you mention her fate; you learn that early on. And as a result, i found the film's ending all the more depressing for its beauty. We are all fucked by time and fate and there is nothing we can do about it. I did like the film very much, though. And Vincent Cassel is quite possibly the luckiest man alive.
