Probably Lars Von Triers best film(s). If you have the patience, a very fascinating story unfolds before your eyes. It is extremely graphic in its portrayal of sexual deviancy but it does help the viewer connect with the main character with a certain level of compassion. This of course is in between moments you despise her for her cold and emotionless attitude towards her partners. Uma Thurman should have received a supporting actor nod for her brief appearance as a scorned wife. Charlotte Gainsbourg is terrific as usual. Movies conclusion consists of a plot twist that will have you contemplating its meaning for days following. Recommended, but keep out of reach of children.

Fantastic, witty, surprising, slightly shocking and a little rude. If you are looking for the perfect antidote to Hollywood this is it. Don't watch it with your parents.
