This movie is awful. Yuk. Maybe there is suppose to be some fantastic idea beyond the idiots being idiots. But the movie never reveals itself.
All you get is talented Danish actors playing mentally disturbed for an hour and a half, pretending that they serve a greater purpose. Maybe the just serve the puzzled imaginations of Lars von Trier..
But there is absolutely no use of the madness whatsoever. I really dislike those, who feel that this movie have "touched" them in a special way. How can this movie touch anyone?? I hardly can't see why it shouldn't be annoying.
At the time of the release here in Denmark, a special von Trier diary was published. From reading this you get the idea that he probably did this movie for his own reasons. I really do not hope so. But I can't see another reason for making something so shallow and stupid as this.
Something good though came out of it: We got to see Bodil Jørgensen as a new star. She is fantastic in this one - and the only reason a grade this 3/10.
So please - don't try (or rent!) this at home.
