Part of IFI Horrorthon 2025’s New French Extremity retrospective strand – also screening:

Gaspar Noé’s acclaimed Irréversible starring Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel; Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Inside starring Béatrice Dalle; and Alexandre Aja’s High Tension, starring Cécile de France and Maïwenn as two women terrorised at a secluded farmhouse.

Considered transgressive and graphic, these high-octane titles offer a rare opportunity for hardcore horror fans to explore this boundary-pushing phenomenon.
