Notes:Notes on the transfer from Altered Innocence: Gaspar Noe shot and restored "Irreversible" at 25fps. To preserve the official runtime and the natural pitch of the frenetic audio for U.S. audiences we've encoded the film at 29.97fps progressively using a 2:2 pulldown method. No interlacing will be detectable as a result.
Also available with a slipcover at Vinegar Syndrome and select indie retailers, limited to 2000 copies. -
