Patrick Bauchau
Reviews Featuring Patrick Bauchau
A disappointing exercise in formulaic tension from a director who just seems to be trying far too hard.
Guy meets girl, guy punishes girl, girl meets self, and they all live happily ever after.
Visually its one of the most inventive pieces of cinema youre likely to see, but in every other department its essentially run-of-the-mill.
Sometimes it is only through being constrained that an artist can truly be free. Jørgen Leth's perfection as a director is revealed and reaffirmed by Lars von Trier's five diabolical attempts to introduce flaws to his work, in a film which is thought-provoking, enigmatic, humane and warmly funny.
