One of the most notorious and confrontational filmmakers associated with the New French Extremity, Noé’s film is a by turns brutal and tender account of a relationship sundered by a horrific rape.

Screening as part of IFI Horrorthon 2025 – explore the programme here!

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

Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury’s Inside starring Béatrice Dalle; Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs, arguably the key film of the New French Extremity movement; 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.
