Mason M @RT73597940 09/07/2024 Not very well received and not for everyone like most of Von Trier's films but Epidemic is amazing and hilarious. And largely great because of the horrifying final scene. See more 08/02/2015 One of Lars von Triers oldest flicks, I believe it's his second full lenght after "The Elements of Crime". This film is the second part of a trilogy called "Europa", but it's not very connected too the mentioned film accept that there is some sort of plague going on. There are some interesting methods of film making here. Near to be shot in black and white - maybe it is actually, but the filter makes it looks different in any case. We follow some film makers as they create the plot of a plague. We also se parts of the result - or the way they want it too look. Full of style and simple elegancy, but it's also a borefest. Even with a very low budget it could entertain a lot more. A "movie-in-a-movie" in a way, but more a fake documentary of low budget film-making. I see some "Riget" connections, but mostly I see some moves that Trier probably make when he's putting his films together. Interesting, but not at interesting as it should be. A very powerful ending scene does not save this avant-garde film that got very few highlights. It will be remembered as a boring mess with some neat finesses. 4 out of 10 toothpaste operations. See more 05/17/2015 I loved the way it looked, but I can't say I really understand it. It either is going over my head or under it. See more 06/30/2014 This is the worst film Lars von Trier has produced so far. I get that the film is very experimental but I did not enjoy the film at all. There was barely any script, the acting was flimsy and not in a homage to grind house films kinda way, the plot made no sense, the special effects were terrible. I was extremely disappointed, the only redeeming factor was that it sorta helped Lars and Udo to start their Dogme movement. Stay away from the film if you can, Von Trier fans or not, this film will disappoint you or simply bore you to death with its ridiculousness. See more 06/19/2014 didnt care for this jumbled mess not one von trier's best pix See more 01/11/2014 A must-see for every student of film. Self-indulgent and cheap it may be, but a still a high point in cinematic narrative form. The cinematic equivalent of an attempt at breaking the fourth wall. Kudos to von Trier for his courage and chutzpah. See more Read all reviews
