Plot
A couple retreats to a cabin after the death of their child.
Sinekatalog’s take
Lars von Trier's grief-stricken horror in a forest cabin is shocking, painterly and extremely confrontational. It is hard to watch and divisive, but its imagery and Charlotte Gainsbourg's performance are unforgettable.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
