Lars Von Trier is a twisted and somewhat intriguing person. And i must say that he really hit it out of the park this time.
This movie is amazing. It has a simple and very heartfelt storyline about a couple that loses their child. The wife falls into the dark of depression and her husband, a therapist, tries to cure her by figuring out what her fear is. To do this they hike up to "Eden", a cabin the have. And nature takes it course.
In this movie LVT really explores the sick and twisted minds of people. Both on screen and in the audience. After the terrible "The Boss Of It All" he finally makes his comeback by returning to one of his older subjects: The suffering woman.
The audience is not pleased, and yet, i do think they are. I know i were. Cause in this movie he put his finger in something that everybody shares: fear and sex. Somehow... A perversion. Cause everyone is somewhat perverted.
This is the most spectacular piece of art i have ever seen on a screen in these modern days. It has all the emotion and beauty in the world, and will be stuck in my mind, many years from now.
All hail Lars, "the greatest director in the world" (Of course he was being ironic. I mean please, he's danish)
