Not for horror fans

The positives first:
The style of this film is very simple, basically all the time is rotated only with Willem Defoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg. That raises this movie apart from most other, and can be quite an honorable mention, particularly the two also really deliver a convincing performance.

Negative contrast is noted:
The film is based on felt much, where the sparks but never skips really. Shock effects are also in short supply, which can also have a positive rate. But basically, the audience has been the impression that it is set up a lot of tension, but never discharges itself, which in the end leaves a little confusing and disappointing impression, or none at all. To complain also that the film, just for Lars von Trier, much too much based on sex as Füllinstrument what is boring both in the long run because it does not contribute to the story, and the film certainly takes quality.

A film that is not for the classic horror fans.
One can be quite even look at him, nothing more.
