Without a doubt the worst choreography i have ever seen in a film. A dreadful experience and i didn't even watch the whole film. How were Albert Finney, Liv Ullmann, John Gielgud and even Hussey and York convinced to be involved with such a trainwreck?

Lost Horizon is so bad it's good. In particular 'The World is a Circle' number.
Love Bette Midler's line on Liv Ullmann in this. 'I never miss a Liv Ullmann musical!'.

Moving and touching...
Farmiga and the boy are great!
I liked this film a lot, too. I was a bit disappointed with the ending though. I thought it was a bit too much.
And by the way

Young love blooms in the sewers of Paris, then World War I comes along. A bit silly and sentimental at times, but marvelously done.

"I am such a clever movie. Don't you just love how clever I am? You can tell a lot of thought went into me and you should be grateful. So clever am I."
But a lot of thought did go into Memento. Memento is right to think that about itself. Memento makes a very good point about Memento.
Although I can never watch the movie again for the first time, I did not feel overwhelmed by its self-satisfaction. If anything, Irreversible announces itself as a clever film.
