Some say that this is the most sensitive film by Lars von Trier (and who attribute it to a certain "maturity from the director"), a filmmaker who is famous for hype (which I love). Perhaps because it has been this strange feeling of contentment and discontent.
Each of the leading film is meticulously disguised, which leads to two paths: Lars wanted to communicate something through acts appar... read more

Films I've seen on celluloid in the digital era (692 movies items)

"FORMAT: 35mm CONDITION: ★★★½ NOTES: The opening montage of nightmares undergoes plenty of dust and crackling sounds – which surprisingly heightens the apocalyptic terror – but apart from four hints of damage, the rest of the print looks just fine. It was hard for one to tell most of the time that it was an actual print, considering that it was mostly shot on digital handheld. DATE: June 24th 2024 CINEMA: The Prince Charles Cinema LOCATION: West End"
