Undertow - I saw Man Bites Dog in the cinema when it first came out - it's been many years since I saw it so my recollections of how I felt about that particular scene at the time are a bit on the hazy side. However, I saw that scene on TV on a compilation show recently and found the scene really disturbing and horrific - however as I only saw the one scene and not the film as a whole I can't really comment further on it.
What I can say is that when I was younger torrid scenes probably didn't effect me as much as they do now - now that I know more about what goes on in the world.....
One film that has probably bothered me - perhaps even more than Irreversible was Requiem for a Dream - this movie haunted me for weeks and perhaps months. In one respect I was glad that I saw it as it's an incredible film and a warning to all but the imagery from the film's denouement completely horrified me. My husband really wants to see it and I like us watching movies together so we can discuss them after - however I'm not sure I could sit through it again!
