The movie has all the hard-core sex and graphic nudity to embarrass just about anybody but Von Trier himself yet the movie never feels tasteless at all. Not a minute! What the audience gets is an almost spiritual examination of that interconnectivity between sex and depression, lust and love, death and freedom... It is profound, funny and is as informative as it is instructional, wink!
Truly a work of a mad genius!
All the chapters in the first volume are memorable but my favorite one, oddly enough, is the one with zero flesh exposure at all. The 3rd chapter, "Mrs. H", tells of Joe's (Stacy Martin) encounter with a married man who left his family to be with her. It's a hilarious episode highlighted by Uma Thurman's hysterical performance as the abandoned wife on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
Rating: 4 and 1/2 stars.
