Well,I wanted desperately, not to like, to love this movie... All the premises were there, I couldn't wait for the film to be released... But, as the film was developing in front of my eyes, I was completely feeling less...No attachment to the girls, I didn't even care for one damn second about any of them, the film scratches everything that is supposed to carve upon, the director seems in a hurry to reach something that slips between his fingers...I felt no compassion for that girl, in some moments I was about to scream to her, get out of that place, girl, return to Germany, live your life and put ourselves out of the misery of watching this movie!And one more thing. The performances of both girls, cumulated, multiplied by 100, they never, ever, never ever, are any close to the magnificent performance of Emanuelle Riva in Amour... So , Nanni Moretti, I don't really know what came to your mind when you gave that award to these two, frustrating the beautiful Riva of that super-deserved award

Lars Von Trier made the most technically stunning film ever. This director has the most extensive knowledge of the European classical art, painting in special, but also music, sculpture and architecture. Such complex and intricate are the cultural quotes of every shot that you have to ignore the plot altogether.I wasn't interested in the plot, what the couple did there was of secondary importance. The MAIN thing was the stunning composition of the shots,it was like the biggest treat in a museum of art. The SURPRISE factor was essential, what is going to appear under each leaf, under the dust or in a corner of the room. Von Trier proved himself a great storyteller in Breaking the waves, Dancer in the dark, etc. He didn't have to prove anything in regard of storytelling here. He just WANTED to make a demonstration of visual art and he did it masterfully. A full 10. For the dedication to Tarkovsky also.
