It's such a grim film, but that looks like a great release. I might just finally revist this.

I agree. I wish someone would give Ozon's 5x2 a similar release in the UK with the alternate 2x5 version on BD. The 2x5 version is ONLY available in 1:33:1 with NO Subs on French 2 disc DVD which is annoying.

I find Requiem for a Dream quite fun, simply because it's so OTT I can't take it seriously. Plus it's technique is dizzying.

It's what's stopped me from buying it, and REQUIEM FOR A DREAM. I just don't know that I need to watch it again.

Funny you should say that. I bought a Korean blu-ray collector's edition of Requiem for a dream a few years ago. I've never felt the need to open it, once I had bought it.

I haven't seen this in years. I listen to the soundtrack a lot after it once randomly popped up on my mp3 player. There are some films that I like, but I never feel the urge to re-watch. I'm scratching my head as to why it needs a linear cut, seems to defeat the object. I might get the eventual standard edition.

Indicator Teasing Irreversible. I'm sure they'll include BOTH versions & include tons of extras as they always give their releases the best package possible.

From Twitter:

Coming soon...

So the 'straight cut' played at the Venice International Film Festival in August.

Looks like there's a Blu-ray coming in 2020 that will include the original version and this new one as well.

They Gaspar Noe missed a pun here by not calling it Reversible, similar to the french DVD release of Franí§ois Ozon 5x2 which has a reverse version called 2 x 5.

So this is going back to theaters in France in 2 weeks...

I hate when blu ray companies release crap quality stuff and just call it a blu ray just to rip off the consumer and make a fast buck.
