First of all, I have to point out that, even though I managed to find a UK double DVD with the director's cut for a decent prize, to my disappointment, for some reasons, they didn’t provide any subtitles. I mean, I'm completely fluent in English (I even have a university master degree in English) but it is still not my mother tongue so I'm afraid I did miss some bits here and there. Obviously, you might argue that this movie was probably not about the dialogues but you would be wrong. Indeed, maybe 1 third was about her actions and the rest was all about her narration and her fascinating conversation with Stellan Skarsgård. Of course, as usual with this director, the whole thing was really dark and gloomy but I was this time quite able to connect with this material, even if it was indeed pretty messed-up. At least, you have to give the guy some credit as who else would dare or even be allowed to make something so transgressive? To conclude, it was obviously another really difficult movie from the Danish master but there was definitely something quite fascinating about the whole thing and I guess it is worth a look but you should be fully aware of its content before checking it out.
