Paramedics Treat Sickened Filmgoers
from the dinner-and-a-movie…-and-oxygen dept.
French firefighters administered oxygen to 20 people who passed out during a screening at Cannes of Gaspar Noe’s film Irreversible, which features a graphic rape scene. Two hundred fifty audience members walked out of the screening, but those who remained (and remained conscious) gave the film a 5-minute standing ovation when it ended.
