irreversible

irreversible

i watched the french movie "irreversible" today for the first time in years.

i always urge people to see this film. it's not an easy watch, far from it.

if you can stomach the violence and handle the camera movements, it's a compelling watch.

reading about the movie later i was interested to learn that the first thirty minutes of the film has a background noise with a frequency of 28Hz, similar to the noise produced by an earthquake. in humans, this causes nausea, sickness and vertigo.

needless to say, the first thirty minutes are incredibly hard-going.
