this be the fifth von trier film i have see . i believe that he be the only director to whom i have give such a high score on all his movie . four of them and the element of crime and europa and break the wave and and dancer in the dark and i have give a 10 and and one and the idiot and i have give a 9 ( and i have be reconsider whether to give it a 10 since i first saw it and although i would like to see it once more before i do ) . he have be chide for call himself one of the best working director . i tend to agree with him . i can not blame him for be arrogant when he have make such great film . in 50 year and when von trier retires and he will be look upon a the pre eminent film artist from europe ( perhaps from the planet ) and and there will be class teach in his name . he simply be the bergman or fellini of our time . it be too bad the critic be too intrigue with themselves to notice this . about europa itself and i will admit that it be confuse and that it narrative do not seem strong . i think that the point . this film be obviously mean to represent a nightmare and or the subconscious at some level . this be absolutely clear from the framing of the film represent max von sydow narration . we be hypnotize and or von trier be hypnotize and and this be our or his subconscious mind . i be incline to lean more towards his mind and since the degradation of europe concern me and an american and very little . this framing be also clear if you have see the element of crime and an even more brilliant film than this ( although i be dispute that in my mind while what europa need more than anything be a proper release on dvd and hopefully criterion again and with theatrical aspect ratio and remastered sound and picture while then and i be fairly sure and this film would seem as great a any of von trier other film ) . in the element of crime and the film begin with a hypnotist and whom we actually see on screen this time and be hypnotize fisher and a european detective who want to get to the root of his mental anguish . the first word of that film be fantasy be okay and but my job be to keep you on track . and whenever fisher and the narrator and get off track and the hypnotist do chastize him and tell him to get back on with the story . he even laugh when a character be give a really silly and trite line . something along the line of and do you understand the difference between good and evil . the hypnotist laugh and say and now and fisher and she do not really say that and do she . so the key to interpret europa and almost a sequel of sort to the element of crime and be that we be deep in our or von trier subconscious and and the symbol there be to be interpret within ourselves and will likely be different for everyone . what do the train itself symbolize . consider it internally and and only then discuss it externally . europa be a great film and a masterpiece . i be never bore by it and even though i watch it at 3 be . the perfect time to watch and actually and since it work in dream logic .
