Why this film? Because the original version was in reverse time, and because, overwhelmed by the anti-chronological cut, many viewers hadn't understood some aspects of the story. Shown in clockwise order, everything is clearer but darker. No dialog was left out, nor any event in the plot. That's why this version is called Integral Inversion or straight cut. Until now Irreversible was a voluntary head wringer. Now it's a diptych, like an old LP where the B side is a less conceptual remix of the A side, but this time with more audible voices making the meaning of the lyrics more fatalistic. You'll see. Time reveals all.
