MCT:September 21, 2008it's so sad.. being neutral to anything is actually the hardest thing to do in the world.. nobody wants you to be neutral.. either you take their side or else.. all is fair in love and war (i think it includes the post-war time as well.. heheh)
sometimes life is black and white, sometimes it's blurry, and some other times it's colorful just like this movie.. although most of times, it's just.. Dark.
recommended. it gets your heartbeat pumping faster because you really don't know where Zentropa will take you... ;)

MCT:January 21, 2008Post-war Hitchcockian noir with a surrealist visual attitude, this film takes the viewer into the dreamland of cinema like very few films can hope to.

Not quite sure how to classify this one. It's kind of a post-World War II noir/surrealistic/expressionist/thriller art film. The story itself is intriguing, involving German reconstruction and the Werwolf resistance (not the Lon Chaney variety). Visually, it's a beautiful movie, most of it in black and white with a few shots of color interspersed throughout to heighten certain scenes, as well as some interesting use of green screen to great effect. I'm still not quite sure exactly what was going; not to say it was incoherent, as plot-wise it was actually a pretty straightforward story. There's just some larger themes playing out throughout the movie that I'm still wrapping my head around. Which is a good sign, if it makes you think. Ultimately, I think this has to do with human conviction, the character of Leopold Kessler representing what happens to those without any. Much different visual style than anything I've seen from von Trier thus far.

A brilliant experimental cinematic experience. Blending color and black and white cinematography with intriguing special effects and a strangely compelling concept. Any film with God narrating can't be all bad? Hell, they even got Max Von Sydow doing the voice!

Hypnotic parable about innocence and neutrality in post-war Germany. Wonderful black and white expressionist images and very deep (although somewhat confusing) story.

AWESOME. FILM noir with the VON TRIER's touch. LOVE the narrative, and it's visually perfect. MY favorite VON TRIER film.

... or "Europa" as we call it! I could easily become obsessed with this film and perhaps when I become more familiar with film noir I will. Visually incredible with a narrative that is very much von Trier.
