It is truly amazing how Thomas Vinterberg can go from a great film such as Festen to such a horrible piece of "wannabe-Kubrick"-crap.. Visually, this movie is very very beautiful. Great camerawork and great cinematography but the story and the acting is absolutely terrible. Joaquin Phoenix delivers a very superficial performance as if he never really had the time to get into his character (or maybe he just didn't understand it...). The plot (Elena-clones) is simply ridiculous and it's all so far out that you never really get to care about the characters or the development of the storyline.
The flying people of Uganda are cool though... And I love the idea that Penn has gotten an "anti-flying-fear-overdose" which means that he can only fly... However, his character is as absurd as the rest of the movie.
Vinterberg has gotten delusions of grandeur and has created a confusing and unimportant movie..
