From time to time the europeans do something remarkable, and in the endless stream of their mostly boring and silly, but usually well made, industrial-grade bologna, you find a real gem.Such is the case with Lars von Trier's Nymphomaniac. I don't know how I stumbled over this masterpiece (I am sure the director's name was the hook), but now I am taking it in slowly, 15-20 minutes at a time, before going to bed.
I showed my wife the episode with two black guys - she started laughing hysterically... I had to switch to Fox News channel to stop it.
Now, the hook has been set, and I have no other choice but finish it, plus find the Part I...
So here I was, thinking that the Dreamers represented the worst case of an impotent old man's wet dream... but I have learned my lesson, and I am now waiting for more euro-studies... one thing for sure, when they say delve, they REALLY mean it!
