Overview
A woman’s lover and her ex-boyfriend take justice into their own hands after she becomes the victim of a rapist. Because some acts can’t be undone. Because man is an animal. Because the desire for vengeance is a natural impulse. Because most crimes remain unpunished.
MovieMagicScore Overview
Auto-generatedA harrowing 2002 crime thriller from director Gaspar Noe, this is an unflinching tale of love, violence, and the desire for revenge after a brutal assault upends two people's lives. Told with a confrontational, experimental structure, it meditates on fate, the irreversibility of certain acts, and the savagery lurking beneath civilization. The tone is bleak, intense, and deliberately disorienting, with mature, disturbing content throughout. Rated 7.2 on the MagicMovieScore, it is strictly for adult audiences with a tolerance for extreme, provocative arthouse cinema, not casual or sensitive viewers.
