Of all the films I have ever seen this guy stands out in every way hence why he should have a thread about the love of his unique film style.

Irréversible is 1 of the most savage films I have come across, after it finished I sat there for a few mins to get myself back together again, I had never come across anything like that before. From Rémy Belvaux film "Man bites Dog" to Takashi Miike "Visitor Q" this is up there as 1 of the most savage films

Enter the Void is my top drug film of all time & also holds alot of my "Religious" views too. On the 1st time I saw it, once again I sat there for a few mins after just numb from what I had just seen, took me most of the night to shake this weird feeling.
Turns out the film made hardly anything at the cinema & is held as some "cult classic" The director when told his film was on youtube in full said to leave it up so people can watch it, nice guy imo. Don't watch it if you have Epilepsy though.

I Stand Alone as his 1st full film was not that great for me tbh, I wont go into depth tbh but it still had that smack to the head feeling after watching it.

For me nothing beats Enter the void though, 1 of the best films ever & 1 of the most cutting edge director's without going up his own ass in Art house cinema.
 
I really liked I stand alone - thought it was a pretty heavy duty film. Havn't seen any of the others tho.
 
Thought Irreversible was over-rated but I'd like to watch it again to be sure. I wasn't so much into fucked up foreign films at the time of watching and might appreciate it better now, a lot of people have told me it's great.

Man Bites Dog was interesting but not sure I'd go as far as to say it was good.
 
I didn't realise the same guy that made man bites dog made enter the void, thought man bites dog was ok but enter the void wasn't very good
 
All his films are...intense. In more way than one. I like the concept behind Irrevesible, the way it's all in reverse order. Definitely a difficult one to watch at times though. Enter the void is great, a completely unique visual experience with an equally impressive story. Brilliant film, even if it does drag on a bit towards the end. I agree with farmaz about I Stand Alone, didn't do it for me. Spent the duration bored out my head, to put it bluntly. Definitely in my top 5 directors, he takes his films to a creative extreme and it makes for a very entertaining watch.
 
Yeah i remember watching Irreversible yeas ago and being very affected by it. You'd have to pay me to sit through the underpass rape scene again though. Thanks for the Void link too Farmaz, been wanting to see that for ages...

No problem, drugstore cowboy used to be my #1 film untill I saw Enter the void.
