I own this movie. Its intense, but quite well done.
The scene in the beginning with the head being smashed looks seamless, but its was actually filmed about 6 or 7 times, once with the actor pretending to have his head smashed with a styrophone extinguisher, once with a styrophome dummy, once with a ceramic dummy with a bunch of stuff in the head area, and a bunch times without a dummy. It was all spliced together and cropped, to make it appear as realistic as possible. And it succeeded with the realism. The amount of technical special effect work done in that film is impressive, seeing as it doesn't look CGI'ed

Shitting hell, I rented this without knowing what the hell it was.
Thought I'd watch a nice arty foreign film before partying tonight. All I can say is
SHIT
Jesus, I do plan to watch it all, but only got 25 mins into the film. It is so disturbing and violent that I think I will be severely affected for a good while after seeing it, and so don't want to be in that state of mind for new year's celebrations.
The extiguisher scene is the most disturbing thing I've ever witnessed.
I don't blame Gwely for his reaction at all, although my peverse curiosity makes me want to see the rest.
LOL, saw people recommending it and assumed it was an arty French cross between Amelie and Memento! Shit! :D

i saw this movie after alot of people said they had puked and shit their pants and gone mad and everything, and in that aspect i was totally dissapointed. it WAS a great movie though and i've seen it twice, but not because of the violence but because i loved the long scenes and how good they were at pulling them off.
yeah that scene with the extinguisher was cleverly edited, but was it so different from any other violent movie.
also, monica belucci is the directors wife, and everybody involved are good friends. this probably made the long rape scene possible, and a good addition to the film for that matter.

But this isnt meant to be entertaining though... that's Tarantino violence. This is made to be a realistic depiction and it such I can't laugh at it like I would Tarantino. But I guess, if I had an idea of the content before I watched it, my reaction would be much less shocked. Showed a bit of the gay club place to my mom, she was suitably disturbed (something about gay sadomasochism that seems more violent, i think)

I saw the movie in a jam-packed cinema. Half of the people left after 25 minutes... It just wasn't made for them, or perhaps they just weren't ready for it. Anyway it's GASPAR NOÉ, what did the expect? He's the director with a shock value level rarely achieved in the history of cinema.
I still think that the opening of the movie in the gay bar until the extinguisher death is probably one of the most effective scene EVER. It does everything it is made for, perfectly. Everthing the director wanted to achieve, he has achieved it. What more can you want? Ever saw a movie that has the first 15 minutes more intense than this one? It's nauseatous, it makes you dizzy, his camera/editing/cinematography/sound editing is incredible, it shocks you, it's what the director wanted, it's his visions, we can't deny it it's his film his 24 frames per seconds. Not ours.
The rape scene didn't do much for me, because everybody knew about it, we all knew it would happen. NOT the death scene. It's shocking, I mean you just have your mouth open and go "OH MY FUCKING GOD" in your head.

i thought it was quite an experience, and largely agree with ymenard. except for the rape-scene. although you know it is going to happen it is still horiffic to see the powerfullness of a woman under those circumstances. in that sense it made just a big impression as the openingscene at the gay bar.
and it's pretty sick to think that's funny....but hey, whatever floats your boat

I fucking hated it, lame excuse of a movie. it has nothing for it. it's just a movie about a rape scene. wich is pretty disgusting really. It would be better if the movie went forwards, bad gimmick, really. Stupid movie, and i even hate it more because all the people saying it's excellent and deep and whatnot. it sucks.

i shall watch it in about 10 minutes.
OK: the media frenzy and all hype surrounding the movie is about a rape scene. the movie isn't all about a rape scene. rethink your approach to watching a movie.
it seems as if you heard all the hype, watched the movie for its rape scene, came away disgusted (naturally), saw no other merit in the movie and therefore didn't like it.

It is genius, for sure. I can't fathom how they physically managed it.
Finished watching it - I found the rape scene much less shocking than the murder scene, although equally as unsettling. In hindsight, its kind of like Requiem for a Dream in reverse...
I'd be interested in seeing some of this guy's other ones.
