My first by Lars von Trier. Fittingly, watched in Denmark (home of Trier), and with a friend who has performed with Björk (the star of the movie). I haven't seen a film quite like it. Unique aesthetic, interesting perspective, great music, sometimes bizarre story and filmmaking. I enjoyed some moments more than others, and I can sometimes sense the director's pretentiousness, though it's not overwhelming. The film is at times quirky, thought-provoking, introspective, intense, and emotional. Some of the randomness and filmmaking choices make it less appealing to me, but everything is artfully and seemingly intentionally done. Memorable.
Enjoyment: 3/5 Critique: 4/5 Total: 7/10.
