I have a love/hate relationship with Lars Von Trier's films – I think I've said this before – as I detest the 'Golden Heart' Trilogy (Breaking the Waves, The Idiots and Dancer in the Dark), but really liked the 'Depression' Trilogy (Antichrist, Melancholia and Nymphomaniac), and found the Land of Opportunity films (Dogville, Manderlay) to be bold and fascinating.

If nothing else, he is a gifted and fascinating filmmaker.

This week's other new arrivals.

I know Mark Kermode has real issues with Breaking the Waves, and to be fair I see his point. I tend to disagree with a lot of the criticism levelled at The Idiots however.

I remember catching Breaking The Waves on Channel 4 years ago and the film actually making me angry, I was still thinking about the film days later. Von Trier always provokes a response, it's why he's so important in my opinion, there is no indifference, his films always make you feel something.

I agree with Nos, regarding Von Trier's 'Depression' trilogy, a fantastic run of films.

Father's Day...
 

Chuffed in receiving this from the kids...

I picked up the Eureka blu ray steelbook at the market a while back for about $8, and absolutely loved Shogun Assassin. Just wished I picked up both the blu ray box sets before they went OOP.

Enjoy, Shogun Assassin alone is a lot of fun, can only imagine what the rest are like :)

This arrived yesterday, can't wait to check it out!
