Films

As a matter of interest, though most people say that Momento is a fantastic film, I preferred Irreversible, which was also told using reverse chronology. In fact, if one watches Irreversible after just having eaten a hearty meal, I fear then for their carpets. The swoopy camera work is sure to seriously affect one's internals. Who's seen both, and agrees/disagrees with me?

I disagree. I take Memento. All said and done, Irreversible has a straightforward conceit, but told in a fancy and superfluous way. Memento is not a straightforward conceit. Its plot is original, unlike Irreversible. The structure of Memento, told backwards, is also integral to the plot, again not like Irreversible.

On a side-note, glad to see Oldboy amongst your lists, but I wouldn't classify it as a 'drama', but that's being overly fussy.
