Love, love, love it. I'm pretty sure it's the first von Trier film I've seen and it's certainly the first time I've seen Charlotte Gainsbourg in anything and I was just blown away.
Well, not instantly blown away – before watching it I'd heard it described as horror film so many times that I was expecting certain things from it, as you tend to do from genre films. So for the first half or so of the film I was just at a complete loss as to what it actually was that I was watching. But then I realised it's actually more of a horror film than almost any other film, because it deals so directly with
what fear is.
I've written a rather lengthy piece about this on my horror film blog which can be found at titsandascream dot blogspot dot com (I can't include links yet, sorry). It would be great to hear if you guys have any feedback on that
