I understand that some filmmakers are driven to push the edge of the envelope but certain scenes were so horrible that four adults fainted at its Cannes premeire. And if you can stomach this film, even the most skeptical/cynical viewer will empathize. Von Trier is a genius, but modifying @ 15-20 seconds of this film would have made it more palatable. High art and deep themes usually produce rewarding film but offensively brutal graphic scenes detract from a film that should and could have been the rare five-star film. Approach with caution.
