The duo's review of Dancer in the Dark reflects the divisive quality of Lars von Trier's work better than anything else, given that David (Australia treats them on a first-name basis) hated the 2000 film and gave it a rare zero-star rating, yet Margaret was thrilled by it and gave it a perfect score of five out of five stars.
- 'Europa' (1991) Few Lars von Trier movies can be described as fast-paced or belonging within the thriller genre, which makes his 1991 film Europa stand out.
