precision posted:If the only Lars films you've been exposed to are his more recent work (Dancer in the Dark onward, I guess) you really need to watch Zentropa. It's one of his most conventionally entertaining films, is tense and weird as gently caress in a Lynchian way, and takes place on a train. It might be my favorite overall film of all time. Him storming of Cannes is hysterical. Isn't that the year Barton Fink won? If you're gonna lose to something it might as well be to motherfucking Barton Fink.

Did anybody else absolutely hate the ending? If the film had literally cut to black one minute before the actual ending it would have been astoundingly better.

I considered that Seligman was going to do something like that early on, but as I worked with that idea in my head, the character seemed to diffuse it. Maybe it was too subtle, or maybe it was just poorly executed, but it seemed too out of character for him. I never got the idea that he was secretly wanting sex, so when it happened it felt out-of-nowhere and too sudden. I've warmed up to the ending a little bit, because as a lot of you have said, it really puts a period on the themes of betrayal and abuse. But I still think it could have been better executed.
