How is Lars Von Trier's least sadistic film the WWII one?!

TonyOct 23, 2019First LVT film I’ve seen that wasn’t one of his modern works. Interesting to see some of his stylistic approaches that he’s always had but to also see how much his work has evolved. My opinion on this film shifted depending on how I was looking at it. The prologue alone…

Above all else, Europa is an unforgettable movie. The look, feel, and sound of it all are lifted directly from Hollywood melodrama and film noir of the '40s and '50s, and (aside from a few moments of graphic violence and language) could feasibly trick future generations…

Action!: The Kingdom of Chaos and Nihilism That Von Trier Built Man, early Lars Von Trier hit so different! It’s so sad this imaginative and creative filmmaker got replaced by some edgy, 4chan manchild more worried to be controversial than anything else. The production…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineApr 28, 2019Rounding out Lars von Trier’s early trilogy, Europa is an airtight, if a bit clinical, culmination of his early stylistic leanings and forays into formalism.

A bizarro version of North By Northwest. But way more interesting. I loved the constant changes of colors: from black and white to color to sepia. Very cool. The ending is perfection 👌 10/10

Metacritic
In the end, Zentropa is above all unique in its radical take on the inherent confusion of postwar Europe, offering the viewer a glimpse like none he has had before.
Marc Savlov
Austin Chronicle
The film is too confusing to be successful, but too striking and visually beautiful to be ignored.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
Von Trier and his three cinematographers fashioned a handmade, retro pastiche with a small, dried-out heart.
