The Warrior (2001)
Beautiful shot ancient story
The Warrior tells a classic story without much words but with strong and beautiful pictures. The intense acting reminded me of silent movies where instead of long explaining dialogs facial expressions and the sets do the talking. A picture says more than thousand words. This movie is not made for action seeking viewers but for those who appreciate a well told story.
Irréversible (2002)
Rage rampage after rape
The beginning of the movie is because of its unbearable camera shaking kind of intriguing. But when it came to the 10-minute face-bashing scene I felt sick for the first time. Over the time the shaking camera, representing the rage of the boyfriend of the rape victim slows down with the pace of the story. Just when things were calming down and the motive for the face bashing was to be presented, I got sick for the second time because of a 10-minute rape scene. Usually I'm not easily shocked but `Irreversible' clearly confronted me with my limits. The idea of the movie and the technique is not bad but the shocking scenes and some of the visual effects clearly dragged this film down the drain for me.
