Irreversible

Went to see Irreversible with Kym. It was very interesting, as it was told backwards, starting with the end credits.

But, it was half an experience I would never care to repeat. We walked out half way through. It was just horrific. And that was even before we got to the rape scene. The images from the gay guy getting his head caved in with a fire extinguisher may never leave me. We got to the infamous rape scene and Kym and I looked at each other and both said we didn't want to see it.

But fascinating in the fact that it was told from the end, backwards. The cinema staff said that we should stay as after the rape scene it becomes the most beautiful love story.

Ah, no thanks.
