Spaces with Artificial Memory

This is the screenshot from Gaspar Noe's 'Irreversible' film. I have suddenly remembered about this film when started to look at the tunnels, and wondering why is it that they give me such a strong feeling. And then I realised.
I've seen this film about three or four years ago and still it is the only movie, that i can recall from the depth of my memory, and remember every second of it. It certainly gave me one of the strongest impressions i have ever had after watching a film. It also is to do with the story being so real, it could have happen to anyone. And there we are, it is since then, that i have my almost superstitious fear of the tunnels.
And that is exactly why i am unconsciously drawn to them (it seems this way anyway), as you have to face your fear in order to get read of it.

The location of the tunnel, according to the internet source is in Paris: Buttes Chaumont, Paris 19, Paris, France (the subway station).
