Salo is a film I'd struggle to watch more than once (okay, twice). Requiem OTOH, is such a beautifully made film that it gets another spin about once a year. This is also a must have for me.
I watched this probably about 15 years ago now, and while I don‘t really remember much about what happened; I vividly remember thinking that I would never watch it again.
I watched this when it came out, im not sure I have it in me to watch again, especially the final 5 minutes, which I remember as being very grim.
But the soundtrack was excellent and maybe I could watch just for the synchronicity of the soundtrack to the film.
Yeah, this and Pi have exceptional Mansell scores.
Well, not unless you've had enough of their company.I didn't find it a hard watch, just very depressing. Not one to put on for the family to watch after Christmas lunch
Hi, do you mind me asking you where did you pre order your Irreversible straight cut steelbook? I pre ordered and received the German version. The original cut plays with English subtitles, sadly the straight cut doesn't. Was just wondering if you had the same discs? I've been looking it seems the States or Uk did not get a version of this. ThanksAlready have Requiem For A Dream on dvd but will get the 4k blu ray after the new year. Might do a quadruple viewing with my Once Were Warriors blu ray. my pre-ordered 4k remastered Criterion Collection Amores Perros blu ray. And pre-ordered 4k remastered Irreversible Straight Cut Steelbook blu ray.
Hi I bought it from a Austrian online store called Pretz Media. Yeah I unfortunately only found out the Straight Cut disc doesn't have English subtitles just the day before my copy arrived.Hi, do you mind me asking you where did you pre order your Irreversible straight cut steelbook?

Aaah okay we're in the same boat then. Okay thanks and yeah I'll be keeping mine too. Will wait for a 2021 UK release hopefully.Hi I bought it from a Austrian online store called Pretz Media.

I've got a Oppo UDP 203 so I can download the Straight Cut English subtitles when they become available. Then use a USB flash drive plugged in the Oppo UDP 203 when playing the disc.
I do like collecting Steelbooks so will still keep it. Hopefully a UK Straight Cut release comes out, I'll buy it put the UK Straight Cut disc in place of the German one.
