It goes a little deeper than that, the torture and bullying some of the inmates go through, not having any way out or anyone helping them, suicide.
I found that whole sequence the most harrowing part of the film. Not just the rape itself, but the complicity of the warder and the way the lad was treated afterwards.
Easy Rider Taxi Driver The Devils (amongst others by Ken Russell) Last Tango in Paris Evil Dead Blaise Moi Ichi The Killer (and at least two other Takashi Miike films)
Irreversible is more a nihilistic parable than a revenge story tbf. The reason it is arranged the way it is to put dramatic emphasis on the sudden turn of events.
I don't want to spoil it if you haven't watched Easy Rider but the film was seen as anti-American, the ending is quite a shock too, defo not Hollywood.
"Sex and the City". A particularly nasty piece of work directed by Michael Patrick King. If I remember correctly it was about a group of witches and shoes, I had to watch through my fingers, and afterwards I threw up... I only saw it to gain some loving from the then girlfriend, i got some, but little did I know that this film will continue to haunt me almost half a decade later! How it got through the censors I'll never know...
'In the Realm of the Senses'. Forgot about that one, but how could I when Rotten Tomatoes describe it as "effectively skirts the borderline between pornography and art -- making Bernardo Bertolucci's Last Tango in Paris of four years earlier look like children's programming in comparison". I've err seen all of these except The Devils, only bits of that one
Yup that's right but he wasn't killed for the movie, well not entirely, he was killed for being a communist.
