Europa Quotes

  • [opening lines]

    Narrator: You will now listen to my voice. My voice will help you and guide you still deeper into Europa. Every time you hear my voice, with every word and every number, you will enter into a still deeper layer - open, relaxed and receptive. I shall now count from one to ten. On the count of ten, you will be in Europa. I say: one. And as you focus your attention entirely on my voice, you will slowly begin to relax. Two - your hands and your fingers are getting warmer and heavier. Three - the warmth is spreading through your arms, to your shoulders and your neck. Four - your feet and your legs get heavier. Five - the warmth is spreading to the whole of your body. On six, I want you to go deeper. I say: six. And the whole of your relaxed body is slowly beginning to sink. Seven - you go deeper and deeper and deeper. Eight - on every breath you take, you go deeper. Nine - you are floating. On the mental count of ten, you will be in Europa. Be there at ten. I say: ten.

    Lars von Trier has never been my favorite director, but I basically watch his works, because his artistic expression and creativity are indeed outstanding among contemporary directors. In this 1991 World War II-themed work, he produced a different temperament, especially the use of lenses, which is rare in similar works. The coldness and gloom unique to Nordic cinema can also be found in this film, although its story takes place in Germany.

    After watching Russ's "European Trilogy", I realized that the appearance of "The Antichrist" was not accidental... Russ told us that he is still awesome without playing Dogme95....
