    • Trivia
      Shia LaBeouf was asked to send pictures of his penis in order to obtain his role. He subsequently decided to send in personal tapes of him and his girlfriend having sex in order to convince Lars von Trier to cast him.
    • Goofs
      The train carriage where the two girls pick up strangers is German, but the ticket collector is wearing a British Railways uniform from the 1970s.
    • Quotes

      Joe: Perhaps the only difference between me and other people was that I've always demanded more from the sunset; more spectacular colors when the sun hit the horizon. That's perhaps my only sin.

    • Crazy credits
      Near the very end of the credits there is this disclaimer: "None of the professional actors had penetrative sexual intercourse and all such scenes where [sic] performed by body doubles."
    • Alternate versions
      The director's cut adds roughly 28 minutes of footage, expanding some of the subplots.
    • Connections
      Featured in Film '72: Episode dated 19 February 2014 (2014)
    • Soundtracks
      Führe mich
      Performed by Rammstein

      Written by Oliver Riedel, Christoph Schneider (as Christoph Doom Schneider), Richard Kruspe (as Richard Z Kruspe), Paul Landers, Till Lindemann and Flake Lorenz (as Doktor Christian Lorenz)

    The Masterpiece
    I was amazed to see that there was not a clear 10 rating for this movie . This will be the first . From my point of view, after watching many movies directed by Lars Von Trier, this might be the best one . It is several levels above other movies which will take dozens of prizes and acclamation . The first layer which attracts people is sex , but this is only the fly (see first chapter in the movie) which will try to catch u to see the rest. Sex is only a means to open the box full with human feelings like solitude, emptiness, self hatred, egoism all seasoned with a lot of irony and links to music , poets and manners like eating pastry with a fork . I like to believe all this details are close to Lars Von Trier and like Tarkovky's library they represent a part of his life and feelings

    In the end, I consider a piece of work (book , music , movie) a masterpiece when the author puts his feeling inside , when he "writes it with blood". I think here LVT gives us his soul and that makes the difference between a good movie and a 1 in a thousand movies .
