Europa (1991)
If you’re looking to check out a film that is completely unique, check out Lars Von Trier’s Europa. Von Trier is a stylistic genius and that is certainly clear in this film; Von Trier uses experimental techniques in Europa such as interactions with rear projected footage… its really cool to watch. The film is deep and profound and will leave you thinking afterwards, but what I love most about the film is its style.
The plot of this film unravels like a nightmare; it has a disjointed style that isn’t traditional linear plot progression. The film is best watched late at night to really make it feel like a dream.
Von Trier considers this one of his masterpieces… when he wasn’t awarded the Palm d’Or (it was given to the Coen’s Barton Fink, which is a great film but not as good as this one) he gave the judges the finger and stormed out.
