Ok, so, this Lars Von Trier Danish movie producer geezer is a totally fucked up dude. Probably why his movies are so good. (see post below, i.e. book Culture Club). But he lets his immensely depressed and tormented personality overflow into the movies he makes and this new one starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe is no exception. From what I can deduce it's a twisted mental journey through the vehicle of a strongly character based film. Delving into the semiconscious realm inspired by Freud and David Lynch, we see Gainsbourgs character come to terms with the loss of her unborn baby. Dafoe and Gainsbourg seem to play antagonist and protagonist, respectively and vice versa, to build a tormenting and uncomfortable film, without the aid of the supposed disturbing, borderline pornographic scene.
Can't wait to see it.
