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.

“This is one of the rarest film Iu0026#39;ve ever seen in my life. I can understand that sometimes this film is quite hard to put up with it, specially the outrageous Monica Bellucciu0026#39;s rape scene and I can understand too that many people, above all women, left the cinema. Needless to say this film is neither a porno movie nor tasteless sequences screened as if they tendon,t make sense. Lots of readings can be extracted after its showing. What might have gone on if the couple hadnu0026#39;t argued each other? Our life is not always the same as ever, could change a lot depending on occasions. Maybe our future is written in spite of not being aware of it. The performances are quite convincing: Monica Bellucci is a lot more than a pretty face and a stunning body and this transgressive film is going to introduce her to stardom ( I hardly ever imagine an actress so conventional, for example, Julia Roberts played a role like this). The men roles center on her but from my point of view Vincent Casselu0026#39;s character is a bit upset and overacts at times opposite Albert Dupontelu0026#39;s which is calm and sensible to fly into a rage in a fortunately u0026quot;politicatelly incorrectu0026quot; ending. It is certainly a good movie, itu0026#39;s worth seeing unless youu0026#39;ve got some preconceived ideas against out-of-the-way movies like this one. Apart from blockbusters thereu0026#39;s another kind of cinema!”
