Chapter 10/10

Meanwhile, Dafoe is reportedly on record stating that he was willing to be fully exposed. Thus, we here at HHDC are left hoping that one day a director is willing to do the same, and we finally get to see William Dafoe’s willy(am Dafoe) on the big screen.

Chapter 9/10

However, Lars Von Trier is also on record stating that: “he has an enormous [dong]. We had to take those scenes out of the film. We had a stand-in for him because we had to take the scenes out with his own [dong].”

Chapter 8/10

Additionally, we must address the well-known fact that this film uses a body double in these scenes for Willem Dafoe. We certainly are empathetic to using a body double for the first scene and its ethical implications for the two married actors.

Chapter 7/10

However, this is preceded by the dong being struck like a gong, and as a result, is followed by a bloody finish that we won’t soon forget. And not in a pleasant way.

Ultimately, it’s difficult for us to want to celebrate this moment the way we normally would here.

Chapter 6/10

Much of those continued sex scenes lack the full frontal male display we strive to highlight here. But in a turning point, we finally get the culmination we hoped for: his manhood fully displayed while fully engorged, and even being fully stroked.

Chapter 5/10

We continue seeing the two having graphic sex throughout the film, as their sexual relationship intertwines heavily with their attempted healing process. A majority of this sex is violent in nature, and not all of it is consensual from Willem Dafoe’s character.

Chapter 4/10

The film opens with a disturbing juxtaposition of scenes. We see an extreme close-up of clearly non-simulated penetration between our two main characters, Willem Dafoe, and Charlotte Gainsbourg. We also see their infant son fall out a window to his instant death.

Chapter 3/10

In order to properly discuss this film and its review, I need to give a warning here both for spoilers, as well as for content:

Violence and Death, including child death
Mutilation
Self-Harm
Sexual Violence

Lars Von Trier pulls absolutely no punches with this film.

Chapter 2/10

Even watching this film is a true endeavor. Similar to Uncut Gems (soon to be reviewed here), one must be prepared to endure a full 110 minutes of discomfort. In this case, a myriad of disturbing psychosexual exploration and body horror, in both imagery and theme.
