What other films of his have you seen? His films do take a bit to sink into (pretend that it doesn't sound pretentious when I say that). Europa is another similar cinematographical feat like Melancholia, and Dogville along with Breaking the Waves are beautiful. Not to mention Riget (The Kingdom), albeit a television show, is another fantastic (and unfortunately, incomplete ) work of his that I would recommend.

as for the nazi comments....i just read about that....and yeah even in joke he should not have said "i can sympathize with Hitler"
I'd have to agree with that, keep Danish dark humour in Denmark among the black humourists.

i think i've seen them all but the tv show and the comedy he did

Dancer in The Dark destroys me, Europa was beautiful, Dogville has the pretension of having a happy ending but really its one of his most despondent endings, Antichrist is 100% downer

i need to see Breaking Waves

Ohhh you meant that the films make you want to kill yourself because they're depressing as shit, alright I can see that. I thought you meant that his films were so unlikable that you wanted kill yourself after watching. Man, Dancing in the Dark is the most soul suckingly depressing movie I've ever seen.

Don't look for Breaking the Waves if you're in the mood for something uplifting .

and this one

Michael Palin shined...well, all of them did
Life of Brian is great.



The latest film I've seen is 'The Class', a French semi-documentary about school. It was really interesting, but also depressing.
It just shows how everyone, regardless of how they treat you, has a story to tell.

Heathers (1989)

I've generally tried to avoid all things high school related since I graduated 6-years ago but I've been told time and time again that if you're into dark comedy, then this one is a must-see. I can see where they're coming from, it's a very perverted version of the typical John Hughes formula and as someone who hated high school I would be lying if I said I didn't glee in satisfaction when the popular students died horrible deaths, and then laughed when their deaths only further cemented their popularity. In many ways Christian Slater's character kind of reminds me of myself in high school, quick witted, offset, and slightly deranged.

I saw this not too long ago as well for the first time. The ending was pretty damn good. I also love the actor who played Slater.

I watched 19 minutes of National Lampoon's Animal House (US 1978), directed by John Landis and starring John Belushi, on the TV and then switched channels. I used to find this sort of thing funny, but now it just seems irritating.
