Irreversible is the most disturbing film I've ever saw. Hands down. It's like a wholly realistic nightmare, as shot from the viewpoint of a man inside a tumble dryer. Sadly, by the time that rape happens, everything has settled down, and the camera just sits there - for ages - like an open portal to an all-too-real horror which happens every single day. And you watch, like a voyeur, and wonder why you even are.
The girl next door gets my number two vote.
