"Irreversible" is a truly powerful and affecting film. " Enter The Void" has its moments, but goes on for way, way too long and essentially repeats itself a lot throughout the film.

Remember also seeing "Seul Contre Tous" when it came out at the cinema, and thinking at the end, "Is that it?".

demonrail/Genteel D - did you know that David F Friedman was the producer behind "Ilsa..."? He denied all knowledge of it for many, many years (he is credited in the film as "Herman Traeger"), but has more recently acknowleged that he was indeed the producer: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/15/mo...er=rss&emc=rss

(Sad to note that the interviewer here, Something Weird Video's Mike Vraney, died recently: http://www.avclub.com/article/rip-mi...d-video-106731 )

As for said film itself, have to admit I really didn't enjoy that one at all, in spite of its cartoonish/"camp" etc qualities. I've seen one of its sequels ("Ilsa Harem Keeper Of The Oil Sheiks"), and that was much more like it. The last sequel ("Ilsa The Wicked Warden") was directed by Jesus Franco, and I've not yet inflicted that one on myself.
