Widely considered to be Argentine director Gaspar Noé's masterpiece, it's the story told in reverse of a brutal rape and an even more brutal murder. It was the most-walked out of movie of 2003 and was intentionally-edited and composed to create feelings of nausea and disorientation. It's like the world's worst nightmare about predestination...the ending is inescapable and represents the entirety of destruction of good and beauty.
