For what it's worth, she gives a gustier performance than Dafoe does. <br /><br />Rumor is that whatshername Eva Green was the first choice. I'd like to have seen her take.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-2872489762167392642010-10-12T00:45:51.149-04:002010-10-12T00:45:51.149-04:00The lead actress won the 2009 Cannes Best Actress ...The lead actress won the 2009 Cannes Best Actress award. Is she worth it? Can you elaborate on how good she is in this film. By your review, it sounds awful this film.<br /><br />I'll still try seeing this.

I think one of his best films actually IS a comedy--The Idiots. That's arguably his best work, and the only von Triers I actually like.Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-49314759938934209872010-10-11T23:44:52.499-04:002010-10-11T23:44:52.499-04:00I find it more interesting than shocking, the bits...I find it more interesting than shocking, the bits on the therapy. I find the part on where Nic is forced to wear wrong part of the shoes more disturbing. But I got to admit that the ball-crushing scene weakened my knees. It's as if I felt Defoe's was my own.

Let this first comment be a promise of sorts that I'll be a regular here!<br /><br />Great work again.<br /><br />Cheers!Just Another Film Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17880550053788464732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-11041980227341774622010-10-03T23:24:43.265-04:002010-10-03T23:24:43.265-04:00depends. what`s the link?depends. what`s the link?Noel Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05904212081036547668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12690266.post-9672136175608709442010-10-03T18:08:09.098-04:002010-10-03T18:08:09.098-04:00I would like to exchange links with your site crit...I would like to exchange links with your site criticafterdark.blogspot.com<br />Is this possible?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
