Dear Lars von Trier,
Hello incel, first I wanted to say fuck you for dedicating this pretentious ass movie to Andrei Tarkovsky, I hate you for that. Also, thank you so much for reminding me that women are either hysterical or evil. And yes, good thinking, you can trick people into thinking a sequence is good by making it black and white and slow-mo while random classical music plays, nice touch. Also, I have to compliment you for making a completely meandering and pointless film that is so confused and directionless it made me angry. But hey, it’s ok I forgive you because that penis squirting blood scene was top notch. So far I hate your work.
Sincerely,
Your #1 Fan

Review by Naughty aka Juli Norwood ★★★★★ 26

You can say alot of things about lars von trier both good and bad but you can never say he didn't serve up enough provocative portions of psychological gobbledygook to keep us chewing on our cud for days on end!
The opening scene in black and white is unbearably beautiful! If you look at it too long your retinas will surely fry for they have never been ravaged by such exquisite imagery!
The slo mo acts of unbridled amour accompanied by the intensely haunting aria Lascia ch'io pianga have been seared into your memory, the branding iron still stinks of burnt flesh! The other shoe falls an innocent young life is taken! You hear the sizzle as the iron finds…

So.....I guess von Trier took the whole 'torture porn' thing too literally.
I can take the pretentiousness and can forgive the self-indulgent ramblings and thickly laid on self-importance.
I can even stand the yucky bits.
What I can't stand is the shallow, cold and completely unengaging treatment of its potentially intriguing subject matter.
