In my opinion, Lars von Trier is a genius and the best living director today. And this is his most moving film (at least for me), because it's real and provides a shockingly correct statement about the people who realize they don't live in full but don't have the clue (courage, power, whatever...) to make something of their lives. By joining a group, they live in a comfortable lie thinking (or just pretending among themselves) they are above the crowd of the "middle class". The story rolls slowly forward to reveal how weak and shallow they really are compared to real pain and suffering. But there is more to it than that and you have to see for yourself. A masterpiece. Go and see now !
