Why we chose it

Gaspar Noé hid inaudible infrasound under the first half-hour to bring on dread and dizziness, and at the Cannes premiere two hundred and fifty people walked out and twenty needed oxygen. Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel, then married, take the leads. It’s meant to make you sick, and it does.

Synopsis

When Alex leaves a party alone and goes down into an underpass, one endless Paris night begins. Her boyfriend Marcus and her ex, Pierre, hunt for the man who attacked her down there, a search that drags them from bar to bar and finally into a club neither of them should have set foot in. Everything runs in reverse, so the story ends on an ordinary afternoon.
