After what would normally be the end credits (which run backwards), IRREVERSIBLE begins with a heated hunt through a gay S&M club. It is a chaotic sequence shot from a wildly spiraling camera seamlessly edited together to appear as one single shot and culminating in one of the most violent murders ever portrayed on celluloid. Following this crescendo, Gaspar Noe's (I STAND ALONE) film uses a reverse narrative structure similar to MEMENTO through which the audience learns the motivations for the murder and the relationships of three parties directly involved, the beautiful Alex (Monica Bellucci) and two men who adore her (Vincent Cassel and Albert Dupontel). The frenzied style of the opening gives way to increasingly static camera work throughout leading to an idyllic final shot of Alex, who the audience has long known is a doomed woman, set to Beethoven and alive with color and youthful innocence otherwise absent from this bleak urban nightmare. The film disregards conventional editing by ending each scene with a dizzying camera whirl. Since each scene is intended to look like a single take (although there are seamless cuts throughout), this gives the film the appearance of one continuous shot.DVD Features:Region 1Keep CaseWidescreenAudio: Dolby Digital 5.1 - EnglishAdditional Release Material: Audio Commentary - 1.

Set on the island of Cape Verde, located off the coast of West Africa, TESTAMENTO is a touching tragicomedy about the life of that country's wealthiest citizen, Napumoceno da Silva Araujo. The film begins with his death and finds that Napumoceno, quite a Don Juan during his lifetime, left his entire fortune to an illegitimate daughter, Graca, who had never known he was her father. Among the treasures left to Graca are a series of audio tapes on which Napumoceno has recorded his life story for her. His life is then seen in a series of flashbacks, revealing the unexpected way Napumoceno acquired his fortune as well all the other lucky or unlucky occurrences of his life. A touching and gently comic look at life and its surprises, TESTAMENTO is an excellent film which provides not only an entertaining glimpse of a man's life but also a look the exotic land of Cape Verde.DVD Features:Region 0Keep CaseInteractive Features: Scene Access Interactive MenusText/Photo Galleries: Filmographies and AwardsDVD-ROM Features: Weblinks
