Released at the 2002 Cannes Film Festival, Irreversible immediately sparked walkouts, fainting spells, and heated debates. Directed by Gaspar Noé ( I Stand Alone , Enter the Void , Climax ), the film stars Monica Bellucci, Vincent Cassel, and Albert Dupontel. It tells the story of a young woman named Alex (Bellucci) who is brutally assaulted in an underground tunnel, and her boyfriend Marcus (Cassel) and ex-boyfriend Pierre (Dupontel) as they seek revenge.
