When I was a teenager Lars' movies made a big impact on me, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark and Dogville especially. Even while I was aware of being 'manipulated' they would end up twisting me in a knot. But when I watched Melancholia and Nymphomaniac parts 1 and 2, I had no emotional reaction except sometimes the occasional giggle at one of Lars' glib jokes. I honestly can't tell if it's just that I'm so desensitized and jaded now that I'm nearing 30 (I am, but I don't know if it's just that), or if he's changed too. Stellan Skarsgard is extremely good in this. I've always liked and respected him but every time the film returns to a closeup of his face I can only think about how fine an actor he is, how much he does with so little.

I liked it because of the shot of Skarsgard working his rod while he has this crazed expression on his face.
