I actually didn't find Irreversible to be THAT bad, maybe it's just me? I love Noe, I think he's a brilliant director, and I enjoyed the film... BUT I just didn't find it that disturbing. The fire extinguisher scene shocked me more than the infamous rape. Sure it was horrific, sure the camera seemed to linger for entirely too long... but that's Noe at his best, making the viewer feel uncomfortable. A lot of people rate that movie as their #1 or top 5 at least... I guess it all comes from your personal experiences etc and how detached you are from the subject matter? Maybe.

I'll cover Dumplings next, if you've any other suggestions let me know! I'm waiting on a delivery of 32+ films right now tbh so I'll let you know what goodies are in there when they drop.
