Stephen G. @patient1 Nov 20 Our story starts with beautiful Passion, and all the while, Insurmountable Tragedy is Creeping its ugly head into the scene. Such a dark, deeply emotional film has been laid at our feet, and raw emotions lead to carnality between our main characters. I feel a deep wound that time may never heal slowly entering the scenes, primarily due to the detrimental thoughts that are constantly invading our female characters' minds. Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg character portrayal is unlike any I've come across of late, Provocative and Disturbing to the point I've had to pause the film for a brief moment to gather myself from the raw intensity unfolding before my eyes. The Most Brilliant Film Never Seen Before See more Iamwhoi M Oct 19 A rather gross whackadoo movie trying to be several things at once, and not doing anything near great in any of them. See more Euler N Sep 3 More a drama/tragedy than a horror movie, except for the last 30 minutes. And the horror is more like "slasher" than anything related to religion. The title does not fit the plot. Visually shocking, but not psychologically deep. Anyway, the images are beautiful, in a gothic style. And the pace is slow, but not boring.

Thus, I finished this movie feeling confused and a little unsettled. See more Lloyd S Jun 7 Sick and boring. Waste of time. See more Mason M Mar 4 I have been wanting to watch this film for the better part of year, but I never brought myself to do it until this morning due to its reputation. But I'm very glad I finally watched this film. This is one of the most emotionally shocking and revealing films I've ever seen, exploring the twisted human nature that isn't often discussed. This equally shocking and personal study on nature is very effective as a horror film. I wish von Trier made more horror films because his use of emotional and surrealist imagery is sure to terrify. Everything about this film is amazingly done, the intense performances, the stunning cinematography and use of images, the impeccable sound design, the use of setting as a character of its own, it's got it all. The scene on the train is one of the best scenes von Trier has ever put to screen. And though the final act has quite the reputation, it's hard to deny how effective it is as a sequence. I'm still trying to process this film in my head, and I'm definitely going to need to rewatch it sometime soon. See more Read all reviews
