Irreversible on blu ray?

[Ian Jane]

Irreversible: Straight Cut is getting a theatrical run at least here in NYC.

https://www.ifccenter.com/films/irre...-straight-cut/

"Some 20 years after his stylish, sexually frank and not for the faint of heart Irreversible took the Cannes Film Festival by storm, the iconoclastic Noé (Vortex) returns with a “Straight Cut” of his dark masterpiece. Undoing the original film’s reverse chronology, this reconfigured vision allows events to unfold in the order in which they occur, providing new context for pivotal scenes of brutality and the subsequent quest for revenge. Noé’s astonishing new cut provides an opportunity to see his wrenching account of humanity at its worst from another angle, and the unshakable understanding that time, indeed, reveals all things."

A few years back, I found that someone had created a downloadable font in this style for easy everyday use. I made up a flyer for my band at the time for some of our SXSW showcases.

I enjoy that Indicator are using the Irreversible font style for their logo on this release:

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.

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.
