(Lars von
Trier/2013/Denmark, Sweden, France & Germany)
Danish
avant garde prankster Lars von Trier finishes off his Depression
Trilogy with a four hour comedy about a sex addict. This hilarious
plot includes scenes so ludicrous that at times I couldn’t actually
laugh out loud because my brain did a double take thinking maybe the
joke was on the audience. If you have a free afternoon and like
having someone trying to shock you with subpar Freudian shtick then
fill your boots. If however, like me, you’ve run out of patience
with a Danish nincompoop who openly positions himself next to
geniuses such as Bergman and Kurosawa and considers himself
“provocative” then give it a miss. Each part gets a point for the
respective performances of Stacy Martin and Charlotte Gainsbourg.
(2/5)
