PRETENTIOUS
Pretentious. Completely. I LOVE Irreversible but this was very disappointing. I didn't necessarily expect shock value.. But I just didn't get anything from this. The narrative lessons seemed pretentious, to carry on too long and lose meaning, and the 'warning... you have 30 seconds to leave this film..' just didn't match up at all. Maybe this shocked an audience of 1998 more.. I don't know. But to me, thi was just mediocre.
