Review

From the disturbing background noise to the blurred-out cinematography and the absolutely revolting bloodbath, this film by Alexandre Bustillo and Julien Maury is made to disgust and make you feel unwell. In this respect, as well as in its exploration of abuse, À l'intérieur bears resemblance to Gaspar Noë's Irréversible. But don't for one second think the films are of equal artistic or emotional quality; À l'intérieur does little else than go over the top and keep the red liquid pouring on – with little or no regard for its characters. The themes upon which it is all based, concerning loss and revenge, are interesting, but the filmmakers handle their discussions and narrative so unsubtly and clumsily that we soon forget what the film is really all about. In the end, À l'intérieur runs amok with repetitive mutilations that only have a counterproductive effect, if any.
