The whole film is played backwards, starting from the most ugliest and uncomfortable scenes I've ever seen and slowly returning to the start where everything was still ok. Even though it was a hard film to watch (and definitely not the best choice for a Saturday evening chilling with friends... :|) I did find it intriguing.
