It would be cool if all that happens in the first five minutes, and then there's a long James Bond-style credits sequence and then a conventional action thriller in which Defoe tracks down the fox through several exotic locations around the world, culimating in a sword fight atop the Golden Gate bridge.

I will being going to see this. Von Trier is alot of things, often boring, but he is also original.

this is the first film i've been to where someone has walked out, well actually run out. and some bloke fainted at the end as he was leaving the room, he had to crawl through the doorway much to me and my mates amusement.
as for the film, well it's not very good. a bit of a rip off of the shining and willem defoes cragged face gets really annoying to look at. there's nothing deep about it, the dialogue is nothing special, the acting is ok...the only reason people are going to see this film is for the 2 scenes of extremely graphic mutilation. i must say i was shocked and they weren't necessary at all. the director clearly has no skill whatsoever if he needs to resort to such means to get people through the door to watch his films.
i would class this along side trashy italian exploitation from the early 80s, at least they were honest about what they were giving you and not trying to hype themselves up as some great piece of film making
my advice would be to steer clear of this film

Where was the dl from?
sounds like he has problems with men, as well as women.
it sounds crap tbh
it sounds crap...? why don't you watch it before feeling the need to comment?

one with a range of views of what (up until my post) only 2 people had actually seen.

Going to see this tonight.
What did you think?
Lars von Trier is an arrogant sod but he does have talent and does ask questions.
The film was quite a spectacle but a bit pretentious.

I kinda agree. The film does sound like trash, but I wouldn't reach a conclusion until I'd seen it - or at least discussed it with people whose views I respect who've seen it. Context is everything. Frankly, I'm inclined to give it a chance just on the basis that the daily mail are bound to hate it.

Well went to see this last night and was intrigued by it, some great scenes, a semi story and some very eerie music which promised a build up but didn't really deliver. Was a lot to take in and it seemed to be one of those films you need to take in and think about afterwards.
As a minus point though, it could really have been one of the scariest films in a long time if he'd actually bothered to make it so, it only came across as 75% a horror film.
As far as the controversial scenes go, well I could imagine some people of a delicate dis-position walking out, but none of the 19 people in the audience did.
Worth seeing IMHO.

Saw this the other night. Some great pictures. Interesting take on womanhood and I love the twist - (SPOLIER! SPOILER!) - on how she did in fact saw her son dying but was too busy cumming at the time - is that why she cut her clit off?
Downside? The pace was messed up - kinda like a 2nd rated Korean/Japanese horror flick. I don't particularly like shock as a basis for storytelling. There was too much going on yet Von Tier fails to capture any of it...
The only things I remember from that film is the first sequence - like a perfume ad for porn. And the genital bashing/cutting. That's pretty much it.

Just watched the-film-wot-this-threads-about. It was fucking gripping and interesting and compelling. I've held off watching it because of reviews/comments/controversies. Really wish I hadn't heard so many spoilers - the film was so much better than I was expecting.
The main characters are cracking up - we enter their world of sex, death, hallucination and spell - of course animals talk, of course genitals are to hacked.
I have to say it had me from start to finish. Gainsbourg is thoroughly committed and had me believing in her cruel unwinding. The central themes of nature's twisted heart - sisterhood - guilt/grief - analysis, etc., were intelligently explored I thought.
Film owed a debt to several flicks including Don't Look Now, but so what? Stuff is supposed to build on other stuff. No-one can accuse the film of not being original.
There were some really scary (or maybe deeply, deeply unsettling would be a better phrase) moments in this film - in a good way. Dark sides of nature that are worth exploring. Underrated.

Just read a review that ends:
And now for a silly poster:
That's how I felt after watching the film - a bit angry that a quite important bit of work had been overlooked amongst a pretty silly debate about willies and fannies.
