    Please use spoiler tags whenever commenting a spoiler in a non-spoiler thread. Most of the Lemmy clients don't support this but we want to get into the habit as clients will be supporting in the future.

I got inspired to make this after watching 'The House That Jack Built' and 'Nymphomaniac'

This is my yearly reminder that I still haven't watched Melancholia (2011) and that I should at some point.

These are both good arguments.

Don't. Terribly over rated movie.

I am ambivalent.

True story. San Francisco. The 90s. Read a description of a film at the cinema about an injured man who gets his wife to dress up like a hooker. Sounded like good kinky fun. Went to the show. Sat down for a fun little romp. Breaking the Waves started.

Honestly I couldn't get through either Melancholia or Antichrist even though I love slow burn horror and sci fi. Just didn't grab me at all. I'm glad he's out there doin his thing though

If you think you dislike Von Trier you should still check out The Five Obstructions. It’s fantastic and unlike any of his other work.
