    The first of a European trilogy. The tones are eerie and disturbing, and the junkyard-like story on camera makes you fidgety, and the plot is like walking on thin ice, like a migraine sufferer's snoring. The expression method is quite satisfactory, even...

    The second von Trier. As a long debut novel, the "quasi" three-line parallel narrative structure with amnesia and hypnosis as the intervention point and main features - the real self-report, the memory of the murderer, and the process of the old police officer's pursuit of the murderer, although it has achieved a rhythmic harmony, But there is no big surprise in itself, most of the mysterious symbols or images not only failed to effectively support the spiritual issues of this work, but also...

    CC Collection No. 80, produced in Denmark in 1984, an early work directed by Lars von Trier. Except for the muffled narration and the thick dark yellow picture, the whole plot routine is right and wrong, blurred. In fact, the hidden cynicism and repeated complaints about the decline of Europe have already proved the purpose of the whole film. 6.4...

    The 28-year-old Feng Trier, the camera is very dazzling, but still my favorite. The whole movie is like a detective story told by a person in a dream. The picture outlines the psychological state of the character. The protagonist mostly talks off-screen, VO is intertwined with the dialogue, and the realistic sound effects and psychological sound effects overlap, creating a scene that seems to be outside the story. , a captivating style between dream and...

    who is the sinner

    As the beginning of the European trilogy, "Criminals" was extraordinary as soon as it came on the stage, bringing a few splendor to the complicated film world, and set up a banner for the director's stylized creation later. Originally, a story about a police detective solving a serial killer case...

    metaphysical tracking

    Trier's "The Elements of Crime" was better than I expected because I had seen the struggling donkey at the beginning a few times before and didn't want to look any further. I didn't even know that "Dancer in the Darkness" was also his work. In this way, I am reminded of what Osborne stated many...
