1. ›Irreversible, also for the spectator // Irreversível, também para o expectador@thomashnblum1225d

   Irreversible was a kind of invitation I used to extend to those who wanted to venture into cinema when I was younger, a fearless invitation: "Shall we go see Irreversible? I consider it a lack of tact today, really. Not only because it is a very heavy film, but because it is rarely what a "normal" person looks for in the cinema, for all the rest (that's us, lovers of this art), here is my review of this, which has often been regarded as one of the most bitter and heavy films of "popular" cinema (I mean, of accessible cinema), directed by the controversial Gaspar Noé, an Argentine-French director known for his provocative and daring works always containing controversial themes, such as violence, sexuality and death, and with a unique and experimental visual aesthetic that is hypnotic and delirious.

   Noé was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1963, and moved to France in the 1980s to study filmmaking. His first film, "Carne" (1991), was a short film that caused controversy due to its explicit sexual content. However, it was his second film, "Seul Contre Tous" (1998), that put him on the map of French cinema. The film was a bleak portrait of an unemployed butcher in an existential crisis, and it won the CICAE award at the Cannes Film Festival that year. This one I saw right after Irreversible, because I was in love with Noah's unique yellowish, hypnotic aesthetic, that sense of distress of a camera almost playing the role of the viewer's eyes and wandering through environments, witnessing atrocities. "Irreversible" came in 2002. The film, with its non-linear narrative and scenes of explicit violence, shocked many viewers and divided the critics. However, it was also praised for its innovative cinematographic technique and the acting of its cast. Noah continued to provoke and challenge audiences with his subsequent films, including "Enter the Void" (2009), a psychedelic film that explores the afterlife, and "Love" (2015), a 3D erotic drama. His films are often compared to the works of other transgressive directors, such as Lars von Trier and Harmony Korine (not coincidentally two of my favorite directors).

   But back to Irreversible. This is a film that defies audience expectations with its non-linear narrative in a visceral daring. The story, told backwards, begins with Marcus and Pierre's desperate quest for revenge after the brutal assault suffered by Alex, Marcus' girlfriend and Pierre's ex-girlfriend. This construction of the film is one of its strengths, with each scene carefully planned to fit seamlessly into the non-linear narrative. The camera work is impressive, with intense close-ups that add a sense of realism to the story. The very long takes give a fine impression that there are no cuts and that much has been worked out in perfect synchronization. The opening scene of Irrversible in the nightclub, which looks like a kind of delirious underworld with fuzzy lights, people scattered around, sadomasochism, controlled chaos, and finally a very violent fight between two individuals, brings one of the most brutal scenes of the film already in the first minutes. I prefer not to give spoilers, but I can only say that the graphic quality of the violence is impeccable. The soundtrack, which includes tracks by legendary electronic musician Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk, is also a major driving force of the film.

   However, "Irréversible" is not an easy film to watch. The graphic and violent rape of Alex is particularly hard to stomach. The main scene of the film can cause horrible discomfort especially in women, Bellucci acted with astronomical precision and perfection and so does the actor/ rapist, the fact that Noah insists on these very long cameras that gaze and walk around the environment until they find a target are intoxicating and convulsive. In terms of cinematic analysis, "Irréversible" is an example of how non-linear narrative can be used to build a story that defies the audience's expectations. Noah also uses visual and sound techniques to create an intense and immersive atmosphere. The film is an example of how provocative and challenging art can be, and how cinema can be a powerful form of expression.

   Irreversível era uma espécie de convite que eu fazia a quem queria se aventurar em cinema quando eu era mais jovem, convidada sem medo: -Vamos ver Irreversível? Considero hoje uma falta de tato, realmente. Não apenas por ser um filme pesadíssimo, mas por que raramente é o que uma pessoa "normal" busca no cinema, para todo o resto (que somos nós apreciadores dessa arte), aqui vai meu review deste, que muitas vezes foi tido como um dos filmes mais amargos e pesados do cinema "popular" (quero dizer, do cinema acessível), dirigido pelo polêmico Gaspar Noé, um diretor argentino-francês conhecido por suas obras provocadoras e ousadas sempre contendo temas controversos, como a violência, a sexualidade e a morte, e com uma estética visual única e experimental hipnótica e delirante.

   Source

   Noé nasceu em Buenos Aires, Argentina, em 1963, e mudou-se para a França na década de 1980 para estudar cinema. Seu primeiro filme, "Carne" (1991), foi um curta-metragem que causou controvérsia devido ao seu conteúdo sexual explícito. No entanto, foi seu segundo filme, "Seul Contre Tous" (1998), que o colocou no mapa do cinema francês. O filme foi um retrato sombrio de um açougueiro desempregado em crise existencial, e ganhou o prêmio CICAE no Festival de Cannes daquele ano. Este eu vi logo após o Irreversível, por que estava apaixonada pela estética única amarelada e hipnótica de Noé, aquela sensação de aflição de uma câmera quase fazendo o papel dos olhos do expectador e vagando pelos ambientes, presenciando atrocidades. "Irreversível" veio em 2002. O filme, com sua narrativa não linear e cenas de violência explícita, chocou muitos espectadores e dividiu a crítica. No entanto, também foi elogiado por sua técnica cinematográfica inovadora e pela atuação de seu elenco. Noé continuou a provocar e desafiar o público com seus filmes subsequentes, incluindo "Enter the Void" (2009), um filme psicodélico que explora a vida após a morte, e "Love" (2015), um drama erótico em 3D. Seus filmes muitas vezes são comparados aos trabalhos de outros diretores transgressores, como Lars von Trier e Harmony Korine (não por acaso dois de meus preferidos diretores).

   Source

   Mas voltando a Irreversível. Este é um filme que desafia as expectativas do público com sua narrativa não linear numa ousadia visceral. A história, contada de trás para frente, começa com a busca desesperada de Marcus e Pierre por vingança após a brutal agressão sofrida por Alex, namorada de Marcus e ex-namorada de Pierre. Essa construção do filme é um dos seus pontos fortes, com cada cena cuidadosamente planejada para se encaixar perfeitamente na narrativa não linear. O trabalho de câmera é impressionante, com planos-sequência intensos que adicionam uma sensação de realismo à história. Os longuíssimos takes dão uma impressão fina de que não há cortes e que muito foi trabalhado numa sincronia perfeita. A cena inicial de Irrversível na boate que parece uma espécie de sub-mundo delirante com luzes difusas, pessoas espalhadas pelos cantos, sadomasoquismo, um caos controlado e enfim uma violentíssima briga entre dois indivíduos traz uma das cenas mais brutais do filme já nos primeiros minutos. Prefiro não dar spoiler, mas só posso dizer que a qualidade gráfica da violência é impecavel. A trilha sonora, que inclui faixas do lendário músico eletrônico Thomas Bangalter, do Daft Punk, também é uma grande força motriz do filme.

   Source

   No entanto, "Irréversible" não é um filme fácil de assistir. O estupro gráfico e violento de Alex é particularmente difícil de suportar. A principal cena do filme pode causar incômodos horríveis principalmente nas mulheres, Bellucci atuou com uma precisão e perfeição astronômica e o ator/estuprador também, o fato de Noé insistir nessas longuíssimas câmeras que contemplas e passeiam pelo ambiente até encontrar um alvo são inebriantes e convulsivas. Em termos de análise cinematográfica, "Irréversible" é um exemplo de como a narrativa não linear pode ser usada para construir uma história que desafia as expectativas do público. Noé também usa técnicas visuais e sonoras para criar uma atmosfera intensa e imersiva. O filme é um exemplo de como a arte pode ser provocativa e desafiadora, e como o cinema pode ser uma forma de expressão poderosa.

2. ›Acting analysis of "Irreversible"./Análisis actoral de “Irreversible”@mundomanaure1246d

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   The analysis that is going to be made today has to do with the film Irreversible, made by Gaspar Noé in 2002, a film very well worked from the direction of actors, in this case we can see that the protagonism is taken by the three actors of the film named Alex, Marcus and Pierre. These three actors have a great trajectory in European films, taking into account that they come from that continent where the development in the acting field is very advanced, so these actors can achieve several technical denominations.

   El Análisis que se va a realizar en el día de hoy tiene que ver con el filme Irreversible, realizado por Gaspar Noé en el año 2002, una película muy bien trabajada desde la dirección de actores, en este caso podemos ver que el protagonismo se lo llevan los tres actores de la película que tiene por nombre Alex, Marcus y Pierre. Estos tres actores tienen una gran trayectoria en las películas europeas, tomando en cuenta que provienen de ese continente donde el desarrollo en el campo actoral está muy avanzado, por lo cual estos actores pueden lograr varias denominaciones técnicas.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   The genre of this film is Drama, this can be understood from the beginning in the conversation of both gentlemen together in an apartment, however, there is a technical element that contributes much to the acting development of this film, this would be the camera and its constant spiral movement, this effect contributed much to the beginning of the film where the characters Marcus and Pierre are looking for the rapist of Alex, Marcus' partner and Pierre's ex-partner. As we know the story is told from the end to the beginning, so it is confusing to discover what is going on, but we know that something is happening because of Marcus' tireless search and Pierre's warnings.

   El género de esta película es el Drama, esto se puede comprender desde un principio en la conversación de ambos señores juntos en un departamento, sin embargo, existe un elemento técnico que aporta mucho al desarrollo actoral de esta película, este vendría siendo la cámara y su movimiento constante en espiral, este efecto aporto mucho al principio de la película donde los personajes Marcus y Pierre están tras la búsqueda del violador de Alex la pareja de Marcus y la ex pareja de Pierre. Como sabemos la historia está contada de el final hacia el comienzo, por lo que es confuso descubrir lo que está pasando, pero si se sabe que algo está sucediendo por la búsqueda incansable de Marcus y las advertencias de Pierre.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   In the background, some time ago I was able to see the "Hate" a 1995 film made by Mathieu Kassovitz, where he also worked with the actor Vincent Cassel, the same who played Marcus in Irreversible, in Hate Vincent played the character of Vincz, this was a rebellious boy who walked the streets of France with two friends, demonstrating hatred for society through acts of vandalism, a character of a temperament very similar to Marcus only that the revenge of this generated more muscular energy, you could say he was more blinded by hatred. Clearly, the actor perfectly fulfills the acting register that the director of actors requested.

   En el ámbito de antecedentes, hace tiempo pude ver el “Odio” una película de 1995 realizada por Mathieu Kassovitz, donde trabajo también con el actor Vincent Cassel, el mismo que interpreto a Marcus en Irreversible, en el Odio Vincent interpreto el personaje de Vincz, este era un chico rebelde que caminaba por las calles de Francia junto a dos amigos, demostrando el odio por la sociedad a través de actos de vandalismo, un personaje de un temperamento muy parecido al de Marcus solo que la venganza de este generaba más energía muscular, se puede decir que estaba más ciego por el odio. De forma clara, el actor cumple perfectamente el registro actoral que el director de actores solicitaba.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   One of the characters that most caught my attention in the different situations that were presented was Pierre, who from the beginning of the film brings with him a strong situation, that his brother Marcus is the partner of his ex-partner and the three of them had to share at the party. Pierre moves through an internal situation, in the scenes of the subway, the one who leads the conversation is him, trying to understand why his ex-partner did not have pleasure with him, later at the party, he tries to tell his brother to be aware of his current partner and at the end of the party he confesses to Alex that he is there for her. Once the search for the rapist begins, Pierre tries to control Marcus all the way, he is the one who keeps everything from turning into a tragedy, later inside the Rectum club he tries to take care of his brother; however, when Marcus gets the rapist and is attacked by him to the point of breaking his arm, Pierre transforms and attacks him to the point of killing him.

   Uno de los personajes que más me llamo la atención ante las diferentes situaciones que se presentaron fue Pierre, quien desde un principio de la película trae consigo una fuerte situación, que su hermano Marcus es la pareja de su ex pareja y los tres tenían que compartir en la fiesta. Pierre se mueve por una situación interna, en las escenas de el metro, el que lleva la conversación es él, tratando de comprender por qué su ex pareja no tenía placer con él, posteriormente en la fiesta, trata de indicarle a su hermano que estuviera pendiente de su pareja actual y a lo último de esta fiesta le confiesa a Alex que está ahí por ella. Una vez que comienza la búsqueda por el violador, Pierre intenta controlar a Marcus en todo el camino, es el que hace que todo no se convierta en una tragedia, posteriormente dentro del club Rectum trata de cuidar a su hermano; sin embargo, cuando Marcus consigue al violador y es atacado por él hasta partirle el brazo, Pierre se transforma y lo ataca hasta el punto de matarlo.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   Pierre clearly loved Alex very much, and always showed a love for her beyond the sexual, the force with which he attacks the rapist shows us an internal force of pure love and an external one in the face of what happened in the tunnel.

   De forma clara Pierre amaba mucho a Alex, y siempre mostró un amor hacia ella más allá de lo sexual, la fuerza con la cual ataca al violador nos muestra una fuerza interna de amor puro y otra externa ante lo sucedido en el túnel.

   

   

   

   

   

   

   

   With nothing more to say, I appreciate being able to see a film with such a wonderful aesthetic and great acting work, thank you very much for reading this review.

   Sin más nada que decir, agradezco poder ver una película con tan maravillosa estética y gran trabajo actoral, muchas gracias por leer este análisis.

   

   

   

   The images of the film were captured, I found the film via telegram.

   Las imágenes de la película fueron capturas realizadas, el filme lo encontré por telegram.

3. ›IRREVERSIBLE: Una película que me traumó - IRREVERSIBLE: A movie that traumatized me@lunaticanto1357d

   Okkk iniciemos con esta pequeña reseña de una de las películas que más me traumó jajaja, primeramente me gustaría mencionar que este no es el tipo de historias que disfruto, aunque me parece una obra de arte en cuanto a algunos detalles que les contaré más adelante. Si eres una persona sensible, esta película no es para ti.

   Okkk let's start with this little review of one of the movies that traumatized me the most hahaha, first of all I would like to mention that this is not the kind of stories I enjoy, although I think it is a work of art in terms of some details that I will tell you later. If you are a sensitive person, this movie is not for you.

   
   

   

   
   Se estrenó en el año 2002 y su director es el gran Gaspar Noé, este director tiene un estilo bastante particular en el cual destaca mucho la violencia de una manera sumamente natural, muy ligada a las emociones más profundas del ser humano, sin embargo, aunque no soy amante de la violencia, debo decir que es uno de los directores que más admiro y el creador de *LOVE*, la cual es una de mis películas preferidas en el mundo, pero de ella les hablaré en otro momento. Si siguen o conocen a este director se que sabrán que al mencionar que esta película me traumó, me refiero sin lugar a dudas a *IRREVERSIBLE*, una magnífica cinta que no querrás volver a ver o al menos no durante varios años.

   This film was released in 2002 and its director is the great Gaspar Noé, this director has a very particular style in which he emphasizes violence in a very natural way, very linked to the deepest emotions of the human being, however, although I am not a lover of violence, I must say that he is one of the directors I most admire and the creator LOVE, which is one of my favorite films in the world, but I will tell you about it at another time. If you follow or know this director I know that when I mention that this film traumatized me, I am referring without a doubt to IRREVERSIBLE, a magnificent film that you will not want to see again or at least not for several years.

   
   

   

   
   

   Trataré de no hacerles tanto spoiler, pero mencionaré algunas de las escenas más fuertes, así estarán preparados psicológicamente en el caso de que deseen verla y que no les pase como a mi que me agarró por sorpresa jajaja. Una tarde del año 2016, me organicé junto a unos amigos para reunirnos a preparar algo delicioso de comer y disfrutar de una buena película en la casa de uno de ellos. La película fue elegida por la dueña de la casa y cabe destacar que ella ya la había visto. No dejaba de transmitirnos su emoción por esta cinta así que todos nos emocionamos junto a ella, esperando que nos sorprendiera con una película genial. Éramos alrededor de 7 personas y acondicionamos un cuarto oscuro el cual era bastante pequeño, pero tenía un televisor gigante, colocamos algunos colchones y nos dispusimos a disfrutar de lo que creíamos sería un ameno momento. Al inicio fue un poco confuso, no entendíamos bien lo que sucedía pues inició con mucha acción, como si se tratase de la parte cumbre de la película, en ese momento la chica que la eligió nos comenta una de las razones por las que me parece una obra de arte, esta película está graba a la inversa, es decir, inicia con el final y termina con lo que debería ser el inicio, pero esto lo vas descubriendo a medida que transcurren los hechos.

   I will try not to make you so many spoilers, but I will mention some of the strongest scenes, so you will be psychologically prepared in case you want to see it and not have it happen to you like it did to me that it caught me by surprise hahaha. One afternoon in 2016, I organized with some friends to get together to prepare something delicious to eat and enjoy a good movie at the house of one of them. The movie was chosen by the owner of the house and it is worth mentioning that she had already seen it. She kept transmitting us her excitement for this movie so we all got excited with her, waiting for her to surprise us with a great movie. We were about 7 people and we set up a dark room which was quite small, but it had a giant TV, we placed some mattresses and we got ready to enjoy what we thought would be a nice moment. At the beginning it was a little confusing, we did not understand well what was happening because it started with a lot of action, as if it were the climax of the film, at that moment the girl who chose it told us one of the reasons why I think it is a piece of art, this film is recorded in reverse, ie, begins with the end and ends with what should be the beginning, but this you discover as the events unfold.

   
   

   

   
   

   La idea que quiso transmitir el director con esta película es que nada en esta vida tiene vuelta atrás, cada paso que damos repercute en nuestro futuro y una vez que esto pasa no podemos cambiarlo, y esto se logró transmitir a la perfección, de una manera bastante cruda debo resaltar. Como no deseo hacerles spoiler de la trama, les dejaré algunos datos curiosos los cuales investigué ese mismo día que la vi y me impactaron muchísimo, aunque debo decir que no me sorprendieron ya que era de esperarse. El primer dato es que, tres personas se desmayaron durante su estreno en el Festival de Cine de Cannes 2002 y unas 200 personas se retiraron de la sala. El segundo dato es que los primeros 30 minutos de la película están grabados con una frecuencia de sonido que puede ocasionar en el ser humano efectos como náuseas, mareo o vértigo.

   The idea that the director wanted to convey with this film is that nothing in this life has no way back, every step we take has repercussions in our future and once this happens we can not change it, and this was conveyed perfectly, in a rather crude way I must emphasize. As I don't want to spoil the plot, I will leave you with some curious facts which I investigated the same day I saw it and they shocked me a lot, although I must say that I was not surprised since it was to be expected. The first fact is that three people fainted during its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 2002 and about 200 people left the theater. The second fact is that the first 30 minutes of the film are recorded with a sound frequency that can cause effects such as nausea, dizziness or vertigo in humans.

   
   

   

   
   

   Ahora vamos con algunas advertencias sobre las escenas más fuertes, principalmente debo resaltar que todas las escenas de violencia son sumamente fuertes, la escena más emblemática es la de una violación MUY perturbadora que dura unos 9 minutos, recuerdo que al verla tuve que cerrar mis ojos y tapar mis oídos, al igual que la mayoría de los que la estaban viendo conmigo, intenté ver varias partes, pero la duración fue excesiva y realmente no pude soportarlo, es algo que me marcó, imagínense ver esto en un cine, debe ser una experiencia horrible, como si fuese poco, el violador golpea y desfigura a la mujer, acá hago un paréntesis para resaltar la gran actuación de Monica Bellucci, no es fácil recrear esto, así que mis respetos. También cuentan los actores que ver la escena ya grabada fue bastante incómodo. Otra escena bastante violenta es una pelea que ocurre en un club nocturno, la cual termina con un homicidio donde se puede ver como le desfiguran el rostro a esa persona con un extintor de incendios. Los colores, secuencia, imágenes y sonido de la película te hacen entrar en un estado de incomodidad en el cual solo deseas que todo termine.

   Now let's go with some warnings about the strongest scenes, mainly I must emphasize that all scenes of violence are extremely strong, the most emblematic scene is that of a VERY disturbing rape that lasts about 9 minutes, I remember that when I saw it I had to close my eyes and cover my ears, like most of those who were watching it with me, I tried to watch several parts, but the duration was excessive and I really could not stand it, it is something that marked me, imagine seeing this in a movie theater, it must be a horrible experience, as if that were not enough, the rapist beats and disfigures the woman, here I digress to highlight the great performance of Monica Bellucci, it is not easy to recreate this, so my respects. The actors also say that watching the scene already recorded was quite uncomfortable. Another quite violent scene is a fight that occurs in a nightclub, which ends with a murder where you can see how they disfigure the face of that person with a fire extinguisher. The colors, sequence, images and sound of the film make you enter a state of discomfort in which you just want it all to end.

   
   

   

   
   

   Esta película definitivamente no es apta para todo público, creo que nunca la hubiese elegido, pero como amante del cine me agrada que me hayan engañado porque los detalles de la filmación son impecables, lograron alcanzar los objetivos que quería el director. A medida que transcurren los hechos, te vas sintiendo peor, pues revelan muchos detalles que te hacen más cercano a la víctima y al finalizar la cinta quedas con un mal sabor en la boca, al menos a mi como mujer, me dejo un poco triste. Si van a recomendarle esta película a alguien lo mejor es advertirle sobre las escenas y que quede a su elección verla, también tiene una parte donde ocurre un juego de luces tan intenso que debes cerrar los ojos porque pega mucho en la vista, al igual que otras escenas donde la cámara se mueve como un vórtice y puede ocasionar mareos. Esa película definitivamente arruinó nuestro mood de diversión ese día jajaja fue la peor elección para ver junto a amigos y pasar un rato ameno, sí me parece una obra de arte, pero creo que yo hubiese sido una de las que se vomitó en su estreno en el Festival de Cannes 😂 Posterior a esto, terminó convirtiéndose en una película de culto y aunque para una persona normal puede ser perturbadora, el mundo está lleno de psicópatas que incluso llegaron a tocarse en plena sala de cine durante la escena de la violación. Ahora quiero saber tu opinión sobre este film, si ya lo viste, si quieres verlo o si nunca lo verías jajaja nos leemos en los comentarios. Abrazo virtual para todos ❤️

   This film is definitely not suitable for all audiences, I think I would never have chosen it, but as a film lover I am pleased that I have been deceived because the details of the filming are impeccable, they managed to achieve the objectives that the director wanted. As the events unfold, you feel worse, because they reveal many details that make you closer to the victim and at the end of the film you are left with a bad taste in your mouth, at least for me as a woman, it left me a little sad. If you are going to recommend this movie to someone it is best to warn them about the scenes and let them choose to watch it, it also has a part where there is a play of light so intense that you must close your eyes because it hits a lot on the view, as well as other scenes where the camera moves like a vortex and can cause dizziness. That movie definitely ruined our fun mood that day hahaha it was the worst choice to watch with friends and have a good time, yes it seems to me a work of art, but I think I would have been one of those who threw up at its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival 😂 After this, it ended up becoming a cult film and although for a normal person can be disturbing, the world is full of psychopaths who even touched each other in the middle of the movie theater during the rape scene. Now I want to know your opinion about this film, if you already saw it, if you want to see it or if you would never see it hahaha we'll read each other in the comments. Virtual hug for everyone ❤️

4. ›A Crazy Russian Roulette | Irreversible (2002)@nanitaakane051645d

   

   ---

   IMDb + Photo taken and edited with my Samsung J3

   

   Hello, moviegoers. Today I'm going to do something different, I'll watch a movie and I'll write my opinion during the course of it (something like in the reaction videos but without the video because my camera is not very good at recording, sorry), so the captures will be taken from the screen. And well, let's see how it goes (maybe there will be Spoilers). I'm going to watch a film that was recommended to me just yesterday: Irreversible (2002), by the same director I wrote about yesterday, Gaspar Noé. Let's get started, but first:

   ⚠️WARNING: Do not watch this film if you have:

   • Labyrinthitis
   • Epilepsy
   • Photosenbiility
   • Drunkenness or being under any substance
   • A plate of food in front of you
   • A dark room
   • Any prejudice that makes you stop watching it.

   

   Hola, cinéfilos. Hoy voy a hacer algo distinto, veré una película e iré escribiendo mi opinión en el transcurso de la misma (algo así como en los videos de reacción pero sin el video porque mi cámara no es muy buena grabando, sorry), así que las capturas serán tomadas desde la pantalla. Y bueno, veamos qué tal sale (tal vez hayan Spoilers). Voy a ver un film que me recomendaron recién ayer: Irreversible (2002), del mismo director del cual escribí ayer, Gaspar Noé. Comencemos, pero primero:

   ⚠️ADVERTENCIA: No ver esta película si tienes:

   • Laberintitis
   • Epilepsia
   • Fotosenbiilidad
   • Borrachera o estar bajo cualquier sustancia
   • Plato de comida en frente
   • Un cuarto oscuro
   • Cualquier prejuicio que te haga dejar de verla

   

   

   

   Already at the beginning, it crushed my eyes and ears with that oversaturated intro but when I saw in the names that the beautiful Monica Bellucci comes out, I calmed down a bit, but it doesn't last long because the following shots keep spinning or shaking (I never understood why they do that, I hope they don't last long). Ok, we find ourselves in the middle of a conversation that pretends to be deep between two guys while something (seemingly) normal happens outside their apartment, a fight in a club. NOTE: Honestly, I'm having a bit of a hard time watching it, those camera shakes have me dizzy and somewhat upset but I'll continue. Ok, I'm supposed to have seen a few more seconds but, Gaspar: (Argentinian insult that can't be translated) Wow!, what a stressful thing to see that pure camera shaking and spinning! I continue (against my mental health). Ok (another one, like this post will be full of it), a little bad joke: Dungeons and Snakes (instead of Dragons)! I kind of better watch longer lapses and then write, because this stopping every 5 minutes is already affecting my eyesight (more than usual). Oh, and no, it hasn't stopped spinning and I also notice it's going backwards.

   

   Ya al empezar, me machacó la vista y oídos con ese intro sobresaturado pero al ver en los nombres que sale la hermosa Mónica Bellucci, me calmé un poco, pero no dura mucho porque las siguientes tomas siguen dando vueltas o agitándose (nunca entendí por qué hacen eso, espero no duren mucho). Ok, nos encontramos en medio de una conversación que pretende ser profunda entre dos tipos mientras algo (aparentemente) normal sucede a las afueras de su apartamento, una pelea en un club. NOTA: Sinceramente, me está costando un poco verla, esas agitaciones de cámara me tienen mareada y algo alterada pero continuaré. Ok, se supone que vi unos segundos más pero, Gaspar: ¡LA RECONCHA DE LA LORA CONTIGO! ¡Verga, que vaina más estresante esa cámara puro agita y gira! Sigo (en contra de mi salud mental). Ok (otro más, como que este post estará lleno de eso), un pequeño mal chiste: ¡Calabozos y Serpientes (en vez de Dragones)! Como que mejor veo lapsos más largos y luego escribo, porque esto de estar parando cada 5 minutos ya me está afectado la vista (más de lo normal). Ah, y no, no ha dejado de girar y también me doy cuenta de que va al revés.

   

   

   

   After the graphic of the depths of that sort of masochistic club-dungeon, I didn't understand why almost everyone is bald, any fetish or requirement to enter those types of clubs in France? I say it again, I'm having a hard time finishing this film, it's exhausting, I can't understand so far why nobody tells him who is the guy Marcus is looking for, it's very stressful the change of lights, the blessed camera that doesn't stop moving, the discussions where everybody is talking and shouting at the same time... it's overwhelming, it's maddening. Possibly that's what Gasparcito wanted to achieve but he went too far, he really went too far; of all the bizarre and "hard to watch" movies this one takes the prize and I didn't get past half an hour of watching it... I take a deep breath and continue. I really find it the most difficult, overwhelming and boring movie I've ever seen and I've already seen a few.

   

   Luego de lo gráfico de las profundidades de ese especie de club-mazmorra masoquista, no entendí por qué casi todos son calvos, ¿algún fetiche o requisito para entrar a esos tipos de clubes en Francia? Lo vuelvo a repetir, me está costando mucho terminar este film, es agotador, no logro entender hasta ahora por qué nadie le dice quién es el fulano que tanto busca Marcus, es muy estresante el cambio de luces, la bendita cámara que no deja de moverse, las discusiones donde todo el mundo habla y grita al mismo tiempo… abruma, enloquece. Posiblemente eso era lo que quería lograr Gasparcito pero se pasó, de pana que se pasó; de todas las películas bizarras y “difíciles de ver” esta se lleva el premio y eso que no paso de la media hora de verla… respiro profundo y continúo. De verdad que me resulta la película más difícil, abrumadora y aburrida que me ha tocado ver y eso que ya me he visto unas cuantas.

   

   

   

   Ok, I've made relatively more progress than I thought I would, at this point I don't know who is more intense: Piere or Marcus? I know the French have a reputation for being intense and talking a lot (at least that's how I've seen them in movies), but these are over the top. The other thing that disappointed me was Monica's (Alex) appearance, waiting more than half an hour to show her like that... no. This is where my prejudice came in because I was used to seeing her in performances where she is beautiful and well, here... it was very uncomfortable, it really was, to extend more than five minutes a scene of a brutal rape, I think it was too much for me. Here I have to give credit to this director, he is the first one to make me uncomfortable for so long and so uncomfortable, and with something so common and banal: revenge. And answering the question that opens this paragraph, I think Piere is more intense; he hasn't gotten over Alex (he thought she was his sister), he has her on a pedestal, he only wants them to talk about how sex was with him, in short... he hasn't forgotten her.

   

   Ok, he avanzado relativamente más de lo que creí lograr, a este punto no sé ¿quién es más intenso: Piere o Marcus? Sé que los franceses tienen fama de ser intensos y hablar mucho (al menos así los he visto en películas), pero estos se pasan. Lo otro que me desilusionó fue la aparición de Mónica (Alex), esperar más de media hora para mostrarla así… no. Aquí entro mi prejuicio porque estaba acostumbrada a verla en actuaciones donde sale hermosísima y bueno, aquí… fue muy incómodo, de verdad que sí, extender más de cinco minutos una escena de una violación brutal, creo que fue mucho para mí. Aquí tengo que darle mérito a este director, es el primero en lograr que me incomode mucho y tanto tiempo, y de paso con algo tan común y banal: venganza. Y respondiendo la pregunta que abre este párrafo, creo que Piere es más intenso; no ha superado a Alex (pensaba que era su hermana), la tiene sobre un pedestal, solo quiere que hablen de cómo era el sexo con él, en fin… no la ha olvidado.

   

   

   

   From that point on, I realize that the movie has already lost its sense. I mean, it could have ended right there and it wouldn't have changed anything at all, and after you find out that Alex was raped and that's why Marcus goes crazy and seeks revenge, I would have made it shorter, less boring and without so much filler. But maybe there I would give validity to the first dialogue between those strangers: "I think that time... destroys everything." Pure irony, so I don't know if it was an outbreak of madness or an outbreak of genius. Anyway, I didn't like this film, I didn't enjoy it, it exhausted me mentally to excess, it made me uncomfortable, I didn't see depth in it and, well, I could make the list longer. I'm sorry for the 7.1 or so rating I've seen it get. This experiment was not pleasant at all, I started watching it at 11 am and finished watching it at 2:30 pm, and not because it is long, it lasts 1 hour and 37 grueling minutes. So no (sorry for its fans), I don't recommend it. End of communication, I'm going to rest my eyes.

   

   A partir de ese punto es que me doy cuenta de que ya la película perdió sentido. O sea, se hubiese podido terminar justo ahí y no habría cambiado absolutamente nada, ya después que una se entera que violaron a Alex y por eso Marcus se vuelve loco y busca venganza, ya la hubiese hecho más corta, menos aburrida y sin tanto relleno. Pero quizás ahí le daría validez al primer dialogo entre aquellos desconocidos: “creo que el tiempo… lo destruye todo.” Ironía pura, así que no sé si fue un brote de locura o un brote de genialidad. Como sea, este film no me gustó, no lo disfruté, me agotó mentalmente hasta el exceso, me incomodó, no le vi profundidad y, pues, podría hacer la lista más larga. Lo siento por ese ranking de 7.1 más o menos que ve visto que le ponen. Este experimento no fue nada agradable, comencé a verla a las 11 am y la terminé de ver a las 2:30 pm, y no porque sea larga, dura 1 hora y 37 extenuantes minutos. Así que no (lo siento por sus fans), no la recomiendo. Fin del comunicado, me voy a descansar los ojos.
