Directed by Lars von Trier
My rating: BOMB
IMDb
(Showtime Beyond)
The first half of this film is an unbearably boring wedding party. Bride Kirsten Dunst pees on a golf course and has sex with a stranger. Her drunk father steals silverware. Her mother gives a hateful speech. The groom leaves alone, the only person demonstrating common sense. After getting to know, and loathe, these people, we get to spend the second half of the film with them waiting for the end of the world. Whether or not it's all just a metaphor for depression is irrelevant, either way it's a pretentious bore, filmed in nauseating shaky cam guaranteed to bring on a migraine. And what would a von Trier film be without a little animal abuse, here in the form of horses being beaten and whipped.
