IMDB
My Rating: 8.5/10
I wouldn't call this film original. If there's anything different about this film, it is the striped-down stage used entirely throughout the film. But then von Trier didn't invent that, he's just got the balls to do it. What's really fascinating about this film is the complex human drama, which is charged with powerful emotions and philosophical re-examinations of human being. The plot isn't new either, but is carefully put together and well paced. The superb cast are the souls of this film, without them I don't think audiences would be able to sit through this three hour film.
