I found Idioterne by Lars Von Trier quite thought provoking. A lot of his stuff is. I've watched Antichrist once and it still haunts me.

A lot of these films I've never heard of. They sound like pretentious bender-fodder to me. Wife beating may be socially acceptable in Sheffield, but it is a different matter in Cheltenham

I've seen the bulk of his and for me they're really hit & miss. Breaking the waves, Dogville and Dancer in the dark are all superb. Nyphomaniac and The Idiots (Idioterne) are well worth seeing. Mostly for the naughty bits. Melancholia and Antichrist I thought were dreadful.

I thought Breaking the Waves was pretty bleak but not a bad film. I thought The Idiots and Antichrist were amongst the best films I've ever seen (although I'd never watch Antichrist again). I have heard Nymphomaniac is rubbish but I might give it a go if you say it's good. Isn't Dancer in the Dark a sort of musical film?

B-york does have a little warble in it but it's no way a musical. She actually really good in it - if her accent grates at times (she sounds like a cockney!) It's bleak - but that's a given with Trier. I'd say Dogville is his best though.

Last film I watched that truly left a mental imprint was We Need To Talk About Kevin It's a slow burner, intriguing and dark as f***. [Link] Was on iPlayer a couple of months back but since removed [Link]
