With Jan-Willem at Bioplatset. This is the least depressing Lars von Trier movie I've seen — I remember going to Breaking the Waves with Lev back in '98 or so and wondering how the hell he enjoyed it as much as he did. Dare I say Nicole Kidman does a decent job here, at least in parts... there is still some melodramatic over-acting, but perhaps that's the kind that won her the Oscar.
