+ IRREVERSIBLE SPOILER +

I don't have limitations(Or perhaps I just haven't gotten to it yet.), but I'm not going to watch a movie over and over that I find overly disturbing, 'Irreversible' for example

I'm hesitant to watch
Irreversible again, in anticipation of the rape scene. Knowing that this alarming ten minutes is always coming is something of a turn off every time.
Interestingly, even once the rape has passed in the middle of the movie, the viewer knows it has yet to happen as we reach the end - so catharsis never arrives. Only re-watching the film and witnessing the retribution right at the start provides any relief, and even this is shattered when we learn that the man battered to death was not the villain.
All things considered, this could well turn out to be one of the most important films of this century.
