The feel bad movie of the year! I think Von Trier's next movie should be about puppies.

Part 18 of the 30 Countries project.

For the purposes of this project this movie is classed as at least partially being of Swedish origin as per its listing on imdb.

An interesting and visually stunning film with a real insight in to the effects of depression. Utilising different points of view for each half of the movie to demonstrate this insight in a very effective way. Von Trier's most accessible film to date I'm sure and most certainly his most assured. This is filmmaking of the highest order by somebody fully aware of how much skill they have at their fingertips. The introduction is at a whole other level however and after such impressive visuals the film itself could never live up to it.

Went to see this with a girl. She thought it was shithouse, and I liked it. She accused me of only liking it because of the boobs. Not entirely correct, but not entirely incorrect. Entirely awkward though.

I liked how the film flips your expectations about various characters' motivations around a lot. Some might say it's a slow moving film, but I think it's a good pace. Keeps a nice feeling of mounting dread going.

See it if you like scary giant planets. Avoid if you only watch von Trier movies for the genital mutilations.

With the ending of this film, maybe THIS film should have been called "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close" instead.

This was a 'must see in the theater' film due to the impact (pun intended this time) of the score accompanied with the visuals, which nearly made me run out of the theater with a panic attack, feeling like I was about to die.

I figured at home the sense of dread would be lost somewhat, as the sensory experience is now controlled/dulled, however if anything I think the film now moves at a faster pace, and I can safely say this is now probably my favorite Von Trier film. I couldn't recommend it enough, especially if you can still manage to see it on a big screen cranked to 11.

Beautiful and difficult. Great performances keep the nihilism from being overwhelming.

I really couldn't get very far into this movie. I had a hard time following what was going on. It moved very slowly. I probably should've given it more of a chance, but I was honestly bored and had to move onto something else.

Wonderful.

I do not know how I feel about this film. I either love it or hate it. I don't know.

Gets better every time I watch it, I've already reviewed this but this film is just so damn good, it has some of the most stunning visuals I've ever seen and the crescendo towards the end gives me goosebumps every time.. just love it.
