Written and Directed by Danish film-maker Lars von Trier (whom you may remember from ‘Breaking the Waves’, ‘Dancer in the Dark’ and ‘Dogville’ starring Nicole Kidman) this 2011 Sci-Fi/Drama was quite symbolical, artfully shot and leaves the audience depressed out of their minds. Filmed in two parts signifying the decaying relationship of two sisters, this film not only is thought-provoking but unfolds as slow as if we were there ourselves.
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Swedish Alexander Skarsgard, and English Charlotte Gainsbourg, it was a show of immense and intense acting skills amidst the gorgeous and opulent sets. Rated R for graphic nudity, sexual content and language, you’d want to keep the children away - not that they’d have much interest to stay around - this film is slow-paced and taps at our minds with brewing intent. With a run-time of 136 minutes, and an approximate $7 million USD budget; this film befuddled viewers and only brought in $3 million USD, but it won the hearts of critics and awards world-wide; receiving 31 wins and another 46 nominations.
