Gaspar Noé’s Gut Punch Of A Film 'IRREVERSIBLE' Getting New "STRAIGHT CUT" Release [Trailer]
One film that has always been a little hard for us to sit through has to be Gaspar Noe’s ‘IRREVERSIBLE’ and with the film soon celebrating its 20th anniversary, news has come our way that the film is getting a brand new cut released to show the film in chronological order.
According to Noe, the “Straight Cut” is “another film” entirely, and it’ll be opening theatrically on February 10th at the IFC Center/NYC and the Landmark’s Nuart/LA.
Additional Openings include…
Philadelphia – 2/14
Denver – 2/17
San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, Raleigh – 2/24
Atlanta – 3/17
More Cities To Be Announced Shortly
Starring Monica Belucci and Vincent Cassel, Noé has taken the notorious revenge film and ‘re-reversed’ it so that it now plays in chronological order. A restored version of the original film will play concurrently in select cities, Bloody Disgusting has also learned.
Said writer/director Gaspar Noé of his innovative new cut, “Until now, Irreversible was a deliberate puzzle. Presented clockwise, everything is clear, and also darker, making it easier to identify with the characters and understand the tale unfolding. The same story is no longer a tragedy, this time it is a drama that brings out the psychology of the characters and the mechanisms that lead some of them to a murderous barbarity. While Irreversible has sometimes been wrongly perceived as a ‘rape and revenge’ B movie, here the deadly outcome is all the more depressing. Irreversible: Straight Cut can be more easily seen as a fable on the contagion of barbarity and the command of the reptilian brain over the rational mind.”
