yeah the other four most depressing movies are also from Lars Von Trier most likely. Very depressing yet good. 14 years ago

Wow, they actually use defibrillators correctly! First in response to a fibrillation trace on an ECG, then later a flat-lining patient is treated with chest compressions.

Apart from that the film is great, and I think it may be Von Trier's best work. 8 years 6 months ago

Haunting and powerful. Emotionally draining. 11 years 7 months ago
