I saw it one time in an art theatre.
It really is a masterpiece of a film - when I sat down there were maybe 40-50 people in the theatre. By the end there were just 4 of us.
The entire story unfolds in reverse, and it's shot in one, continuous, non stop take that wanders from scene to scene back in time. Add to that it's in French and the soundtrack is a stunning musical mind fuck by Daft Punk with avant techno music and a gut tumbling low frequency reel and you have something unique in film.
