I saw this film when in opened in Copenhagen last June. After seeing it I was convinced that someone would have some sense and not release it in North America. Nicole Kidman was riding high on her Oscar win for The Hours (another waste of two hours of my life) and I expected something interesting with Lars Von Trier directing. What did I get for my $18 (Cdn)? Answer: the most pretentious movie I have ever seen in my life. I would expect something like this to come from a 1st year film student at a small community college with all his/her friends "acting". This film is not clever, the dialogue is downright boring and when it is not boring you to death it is downright laughable. There is a scene with James Caan and Nicole Kidman where the conversation comes across as written by a high school student. Avoid this movie at all costs. 1/10
