CGiii Comment
The opening credits are enough to make you want to discontinue watching.
Then, there is the ridiculously roving camera and some of the worst subtitling ever produced.
It doesn't look good for Noé - there is the deafening sound, the unrelenting violence.
It is stylised, depressing, and disturbing - but, the disturbia is laboured - Noé lays it on too thick.
This is not entertainment...it's just a vacuous stab at being controversial and, therefore, ultimately meaningless.
Quite vile.

The(ir) Blurb...
Events over the course of one traumatic night in Paris unfold in reverse-chronological order as the beautiful Alex is brutally raped and beaten by a stranger in the underpass. Her boyfriend and ex-lover take matters into their own hands by hiring two criminals to help them find the rapist so that they can exact revenge. A simultaneously beautiful and terrible examination of the destructive nature of cause and effect, and how time destroys everything.
