It's in my top three movies ^^ It's amazing, thought provoking, sad and depressing.

Awesome film, if you don't mind utter depression. Probably one of the most depressing and disturbing films I've seen, apart from Irreversible. And no, I haven't had a go at Lars von Trier stuff yet.
Yesterday, upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today. Oh, how I wish he'd go away.

It is a GREAT film if you are okay with depressing as hell shit.
The BEST thing I liked about it was the soundtrack...the rest of the film I could have done without.

It is a great film but not one for a romantic evening in. It is harrowing, disturbing and very depressing. Also, anyone getting into drugs should be made to watch it every day...

Drugs, or daytime television.

It is a very polarizing film. I loved it, I found it very cathartic, imaginative, beautifully shot, with a very engaging story.
