this was really overrated. it came off to me as him trying to be overly offensive, like HEY look at me aren't you disgusted at this, look what i just did!
@tpgear321 I've seen that scene two times, and your comment was enough for me to stop the video, type out this comments, and then go somewhere else. Once was more than enough, don't need to see that again. I loved Enter the Void and I'm not squeamish, even the rape scene wasn't much to me, but the fire extinguisher scene was more than I can stomach. Ssssssee ya!
I just realized that he stole this idea from Memento. But., wait! He did it better and played on every emotion that I own. I could not sleep the night after I saw it. My mind kept replaying the scene's in my mind. I felt disgusted, yet, the next day I was looking up info about it. I don't know what it is. Congrats, Noe. Ya got this American Bitch.
This movie is insanely well done, watched it for the first time today and loved it. The two stand out scenes (Fire Extinguisher & Rape) that are talked about are pretty brutal. The fire extinguisher one not so much but its just done so well and the rape scene got to me after the first 2-3 mins and then the rest got to me and I wanted that fucker dead lol. The ending was crazy and made me go "woaaaa man that was crazy"... overall a piece of cinema thats very well done.
Great movie, i wish it was reversible, i wish i have never seen it more than any other movies i have seen. It is great but equally disturbing and sad. I really wish i have never seen it. But it is irreversible.
@Unmauricio I think the only disturbing part was sexy Monica getting raped up her shithole in the notorious tunnel sequence. The fire extinguisher death scene wasn't all that disturbing, Ive seen worse.
@jerseyirish What are you talking about, bro? i mean, i can't contest your opinion, that'd be stupid, but i really find the whole thing pretty disturbing, for example: when the raper gets his face fucked up (yeah, almost literally) it's one of the most violent scenes i ever seen. but anyway, you said you've seen worse, could you name some? cause that's craze (not sarcasm, really asking)
@Unmauricio the raper wasn't killed... they mistakenly fought someone else. When the guy gets killed by the extinguisher, the raper is watching the whole thing (notice the band-aid on his nose). So yeah, shit is deeper than you thought.
@Unmauricio What are you talking about, bro? i mean, i can't contest your opinion, that'd be stupid, but i really find the whole thing disturbing, like for example: the part which the raper gets his face fucked up (yeah, almost literally) that's quite insane, one of the most violent scenes i ever seen. But anyway, you said you've seen worse... would you name some? cause that's craze (no sarcasm, really asking)
In France there was all this big deal about the rape scene. When it was released i was quite young and reading the reviews i had prejudices about the movie as being just provocative and violent.
But one year ago, with my big brother, we rented it and it was a f... shock for both of us. It was so powerful, brilliant, new, interesting and beautiful.
Most of all i felt revolted that critics reduced the film to his "provocative" side as the love scene for ex is the most beautiful and true i ever saw
It doesn't necessarly mean that he is a rapist himself ( in practice) and I didn't said that it would reflect him perfectly, but it does show a tendency towards a violent interpretation of things/reality, someones work be it a painter, a writer, even actors do always reveal traces of their personalities and perspectives. And J.K Rowling may have portraid an evil Voldemort, but that is because she needed a perfect contraposition to her portrayal of absolute goodness which is harry potter,
Gaspar Noe should be locked away in a mental institution and not making extreme violent and mysogenist movies, which are nothing else than his personal and private phantasies put on screen. Little pervert fucker.
@bumbumbum43 You can tell a story without it reflecting your personality. Look up the word "fiction." Then look up the word "persona." Hopefully you'll understand by that point.
@AmanderPander Yes, but where does the fiction first originate, in the mind. Which means, it was first an idea, and ideas are in their majority, expressions of one self, conscious or inconsciosly. Even the wildest fictions originate from someones mind. And from what I know, this movie was HIS idea and product.
@bumbumbum43 To say that "because he depicted a rapist in his movie, that means that he is somehow a misogynist/rapist himself" is the same as saying that "because J.K. Rowling depicted a bald and evil man by the name of Voldemort that wants to overthrow both the wizarding and the muggle world, that means that J.K. Rowling must be a secret, evil (and probably balding) tyrant herself."
You're committing a fallacy known as Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc. Look that up as well.
@AmanderPander harry potter, so there is a balance. But in his movies, the evil and perverse always prevails, and get away with everything. Apart from his particular ways to shot certain scenes, which denote voyeurism. And this inbalance is what makes me doubt him.
@bumbumbum43 Honestly, you're arguing with an English Lit major that has almost 8 years of experience in the art of Rhetoric. Please, do tell, why you think that he is different from almost any author or movie director and that he is a PERFECT reflection of the stories he creates.
@AmanderPander It doesn't necessarly mean that he is a rapist himself ( in practice) and I didn't said that it would reflect him perfectly, but it does show a tendency towards a violent interpretation of things/reality, someones work be it a painter, a writer, even actors do always reveal traces of their personalities and perspectives.

If you enjoyed Irreversible, you should really watch Enter The Void.
I liked the improvisation and how the atmosphere (camera work & music) are oppressing, but some parts were too long and some scenes had no interest I thought. very intense though.
How did he create the scene at the beginning with the guy's head being pulverized? Does anyone know? I even see the jaw moving after... you know..................
@dayidify Your comment is pretty old, but it was done via computer effects, make up-effects, some tricky camera cuts and puppets. Basically every time the camera flips around in a weird way is a cut and then they change out the dummy or apply more make up or whatever. Bleccccch.
I've just discovered his movies lately and, as a true film-lover I can honestly say, that Gaspar is a visionary of modern cinema and cinema in particular. I cant wait for premiere of "Enter the Void" in my homeland. It would be a shame to watch such a stylized and visually satisfying piece of art on pc.
hopefully this movie can make positive impact - rape is such a terrible cause of suffering in society, and this can get people to investigate and learn of strategies to reduce it.. And hopefully too many aren't seriously affected by this film with some harmful long-term disturbance...
@BLACKMAGICMETALMAN12 Irreversible and Enter the Void are both on Netlfix instant que. if you have an xbox 360 get one of your friends with netflix to let you use their account for for instant access and watch away! both amazing films
That was great in the movie when Vincent Cassel is like "I wanna fuck your ass!" I was in my living room in slow motion like "Noooo! Doon't saaay thaaat!" as if that's what caused the rape in the first place. That movie is so well designed. I suspect it's highly influenced by Dante Alighieri.
@shelooksthroughme I completely dissagree. It was extremelly disturbing on so many levels, shocking, as you said depressing, and ofcourse: tragic, violent and sad. To me this is Noe's best movie so far and after that comes I Stand Alone, another unique masterpiece that you should definetely need to see cause I highly recommend it to you.
the original tittle is "seule contre tous" (alone against everybody) it's about an old French butcher that kills the man that raped his daughter, he goes to prison for 15 years and when he comes out, everything changed for him.
@shelooksthroughme 'I Stand Alone' is brutal, but worth the watch. Philippe Nahon is amazing as the butcher, he makes you come close to..."understanding" maybe isn't he right word...maybe empathizing with him, even if you don't agree with him.
@shelooksthroughme you are one jaded mofo, if seeing a man being beaten to death with a fire extinguisher and a woman being raped into a coma didn't disturb you. Most, normal human beings who dont live in countries of poverty where that shit happens daily, would classify this as disturbing. as well as depressing.
I completely disagree... this was one of the most difficult movies for me to watch. I had nightmares, and I dont consider myself someone overly sensitized to violence.
ummmmm okay im wondering why no one else has asked this what the fuck is wrong with this interviewer "and of course your decision to makeit anal rape rather than vaginal rape was that a tough decision" what the fuck
I stand alone is his best, i say Enter the void and had it's moments but the Exploration of the dimensions was a bit boring...Irréversible has same sequence shots, same Cinematography, he watched memento and that's it, that's why he was able to do the script in 3 weeks, same jump cuts and so on...but i remember when i saw "I Stand alone" it was violently fresh and creative, it was mind blowing back in 1998...but will see if the Auteur can come again with something more than just the hype.
@aremaktsnuk I still haven't seen Carne but I think this is his crowning achievement. The cinematography in this blew my mind! The scene with camera rolling around them in the car flying through the windows and all around there heads still boggles my mind on how they did it without cutting the scene and the overal emotion that carries the film is unbelievable. One of my favorite films even though i'll admit I don't wanna watch it alot!
@cineasta71 To me Irreversible is by far Noe's best, ultimate masterpiece so far, from the whole setting, atmosphere, tone of the film, violence, shocking and disturbing scenes, acting, dialogue, etc... it blew me away immediately and instantly became my favorite of his, but I totally agree that I Stand Alone is mindblowing and a unique movie.
@grga888 Have you seen Enter the void..? Well i guess it's a matter of subjectiveness. PIcture yourself in the late nineties and it will have a different mood and reception. Of course Irrevérsible is great in so many technical levels and the long take with bellucci being rape...but the writing in Stand alone is way more complex, than irrevérsible...anyway cheers man...
@cineasta71 i get where you're coming from with the whole "memento" thing, but he didn't copy it as such. He explored what happened later on in the night first, and then went backward in time to show us that Alex and Marcus were incredibly happy and that life was great. The fact that she's pregnant and everything is just amazing in the last part of the movie makes it more disturbing for me, personally, as they have no idea of the carnage that lies ahead, which is what we see earlier in the film.
Wow, people try to justify a rape scene like the one in this film by saying "when you're a kid you're always afraid of being raped, if you're a man". This guy says there is a difference between anal and vaginal rape, that only anal is about establishing power. Sick sick man trying to justify his exploitation film as high art. Men like this
@PtAltmVansanTarr i don't think that's exactly what he meant. I think he believes man rape and woman rape is basically the same, but if it happens to a woman anally, men have a visceral reaction. Anyone can identify with being raped in the ass. Plus, it's usually more painful.
These movie's knock shit out of so called 'Tough' hollywood. There's graphic scenes, sure!. But If your easily disturbed, get upset, want to have a cry, have a winge about it on youtube, just press the stop button and don't fucking watch it! ...Simples *Wink* :)
he said:"I have all this money, let me make something great" I think that he should have said:"ohh I got all this money, let me wasted by making a piece of shit violent fucked up pointless movie!"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
as one reviewer commented it's a film that "takes an adolescent pride in its own ugliness". That about sums up the discussion here, two guys discussing rape, the interviewer intrigued to know why it was anal rape rather than vaginal rape, like there is artistic merit in the distinction. Sorry, but in a world of suffering, we hardly need boyish men being arty about rape; are people so desensitized that they need to watch films like this to understand who harrowing life can be?
"are people so desensitized that they need to watch films like this to understand who harrowing life can be? "
generally, yes
Media does a great job of diluting life and numbing people to some of it's less pleasant realities.
Though it may be unfortunate that it takes a 'controversial movie' to inspire people to appreciate this fact, better that than they continue to ignore it.
This movie taught me a certain kind of empathy that for whatever reason I had b4 lacked, and for that I'm greatful.
I think that is unfair. I don't think he's being 'arty' about rape at all. If anything I think showing it the way he portrays it does the exact opposite of what you accuse him off.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Not just "dominance" like he said, by the way , hes a retard, honestly, can't even speak, no wonder he can't make movies, it was about "violence and humiliation and the marginalization of women"
@slumlumm Your clearly an idiot who has missed the point of this film. Its not a film about rape, its a film about revenge and the morality behind it (or lack of). Its a film about the Nilhilist theory! I suggest you do some reading before you go making such blind comments. I personally believe that this is a savagely honest film.
Btw, when you can speak french at the same level that he can speak english then go make such xenaphobic comments. Twat
thanks for this interview i saw this movie today. i loved it and i'm American. this is the first of Gaspards movies i've seen but i was very impressed by the directing and want to see more of his work. any reccomendations?
He hasn't made that much after this film, you could check out his "I stand alone" (Seul contre tous) which came before Irreversible, though it's a weaker film. You may recognize the protagonist from that film in the beginning of Irreversible.. :)
If "Enter the Void" is anything like "We fuck alone" it'll be utter and complete crap! But the synopsis sounds interesting enough. It's hard to follow up something like "Irreversible" I'm sure..
Illegal or not you can always get your hands on any movie like I got Make Them Die Slowly, which at the time was illegal in 15 countries U.S included just got to shop around
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Also, if Gaspar Noe, wanted to tell the story of women's suffering, he should step out of the way and let women tell their stories the way they want it to be told. I know for a fact that most women felt marginalized by this movie, he is after all a condescending male , hypocritical and arrogant who thinks he can do anything he wants because he has the power to do so. Monica Bellucci is an idiot, who has no self respect or any for her own sisters in this world.
the movie is not about one woman's suffering- alex's (bellucci) rape becomes a symbol which gives way to the questioning of morality in the film. it allows for the audience to judge her boyfriend's and ex bf's reactions to personal trauma via the rape, in which they do many "immoral" things, such as kill a man in the rectum in the beginning of the movie or physically/verbally badger the tranny hooker. if u think this is a "woman power" film then u didn't get the complexity of the film at all
this movie made me sea sick :)
This and ENTER THE VOID are not movies, They are experniances, I spelled that awfully wrong.

@aremaktsnuk I still haven't seen Carne but I think this is his crowning achievement. The cinematography in this blew my mind! The scene with camera rolling around them in the car flying through the windows and all around there heads still boggles my mind on how they did it without cutting the scene and the overal emotion that carries the film is unbelievable. One of my favorite films even though i'll admit I don't wanna watch it alot!

@cineasta71 To me Irreversible is by far Noe's best, ultimate masterpiece so far, from the whole setting, atmosphere, tone of the film, violence, shocking and disturbing scenes, acting, dialogue, etc... it blew me away immediately and instantly became my favorite of his, but I totally agree that I Stand Alone is mindblowing and a unique movie.

@grga888 Have you seen Enter the void..? Well i guess it's a matter of subjectiveness. PIcture yourself in the late nineties and it will have a different mood and reception. Of course Irrevérsible is great in so many technical levels and the long take with bellucci being rape...but the writing in Stand alone is way more complex, than irrevérsible...anyway cheers man...

I agree. There was a huge touch of taxi driver in i stand alone though.

@cineasta71 i get where you're coming from with the whole "memento" thing, but he didn't copy it as such. He explored what happened later on in the night first, and then went backward in time to show us that Alex and Marcus were incredibly happy and that life was great. The fact that she's pregnant and everything is just amazing in the last part of the movie makes it more disturbing for me, personally, as they have no idea of the carnage that lies ahead, which is what we see earlier in the film.

Wow, people try to justify a rape scene like the one in this film by saying "when you're a kid you're always afraid of being raped, if you're a man". This guy says there is a difference between anal and vaginal rape, that only anal is about establishing power. Sick sick man trying to justify his exploitation film as high art. Men like this
PtAltmVansanTarr 1 year ago
@PtAltmVansanTarr i don't think that's exactly what he meant. I think he believes man rape and woman rape is basically the same, but if it happens to a woman anally, men have a visceral reaction. Anyone can identify with being raped in the ass. Plus, it's usually more painful.

as one reviewer commented it's a film that "takes an adolescent pride in its own ugliness". That about sums up the discussion here, two guys discussing rape, the interviewer intrigued to know why it was anal rape rather than vaginal rape, like there is artistic merit in the distinction. Sorry, but in a world of suffering, we hardly need boyish men being arty about rape; are people so desensitized that they need to watch films like this to understand who harrowing life can be?

"are people so desensitized that they need to watch films like this to understand who harrowing life can be? "
generally, yes
Media does a great job of diluting life and numbing people to some of it's less pleasant realities.
Though it may be unfortunate that it takes a 'controversial movie' to inspire people to appreciate this fact, better that than they continue to ignore it.
This movie taught me a certain kind of empathy that for whatever reason I had b4 lacked, and for that I'm greatful.

I think that is unfair. I don't think he's being 'arty' about rape at all. If anything I think showing it the way he portrays it does the exact opposite of what you accuse him off.

Not just "dominance" like he said, by the way , hes a retard, honestly, can't even speak, no wonder he can't make movies, it was about "violence and humiliation and the marginalization of women"

Jadabh3 2 years ago
@slumlumm Your clearly an idiot who has missed the point of this film. Its not a film about rape, its a film about revenge and the morality behind it (or lack of). Its a film about the Nilhilist theory! I suggest you do some reading before you go making such blind comments. I personally believe that this is a savagely honest film.
Btw, when you can speak french at the same level that he can speak english then go make such xenaphobic comments. Twat

merks91 2 years ago
He hasn't made that much after this film, you could check out his "I stand alone" (Seul contre tous) which came before Irreversible, though it's a weaker film. You may recognize the protagonist from that film in the beginning of Irreversible.. :)

If "Enter the Void" is anything like "We fuck alone" it'll be utter and complete crap! But the synopsis sounds interesting enough. It's hard to follow up something like "Irreversible" I'm sure..

Also, if Gaspar Noe, wanted to tell the story of women's suffering, he should step out of the way and let women tell their stories the way they want it to be told. I know for a fact that most women felt marginalized by this movie, he is after all a condescending male , hypocritical and arrogant who thinks he can do anything he wants because he has the power to do so. Monica Bellucci is an idiot, who has no self respect or any for her own sisters in this world.
slumlumm 2 years ago
the movie is not about one woman's suffering- alex's (bellucci) rape becomes a symbol which gives way to the questioning of morality in the film. it allows for the audience to judge her boyfriend's and ex bf's reactions to personal trauma via the rape, in which they do many "immoral" things, such as kill a man in the rectum in the beginning of the movie or physically/verbally badger the tranny hooker. if u think this is a "woman power" film then u didn't get the complexity of the film at all
