critic need to review what they class a a quality movie . i think the critic have see too many action film and have succumb to the matrix style of film . europa be a breath of fresh air and a film with so many layer that one viewing be not enough to understand or appreciate this outstanding film . lars von trier show that old style of film can produce marvellous cinema and build drama and tension . the back projection effect he use during the film arouses and enhance the character and and the focus of the conversation they be have . other effect he use such a the colour and black and white in one scene much like hitchcock and the girl with the red coat grab attention and enhance the drama and meaning of the scene . the commentary be superb and have a hypnotic effect and again maintain the focus on the central character in the scene and there action . i could talk about the effect more but i think you all would agree they push this film into a category of it own and and really heighten the drama of the film . a film to buy if you do not own already and one to see if you have not . positive don not miss this artistic noir film from one of the great film director .
