*Plot and ending analyzed*
Trier, who is at times an accomplished director, at others, a bloated buffoon, has an eye for great art. This film, which deals with the Greek mythology of Medea, who killed her children in order to appease the gods, is an artistic retelling of the event, from deep-colored shots of the ocean, to lens-filtered wind brushing against the actors' shade; this is all visual.
The film is quite utterly boring though, and thus, we are not at all interested in the development of sequences which Trier so meticulously arranges for us.
Udo Kier is surprisingly common in this adaptation, and by the end, we are glad that the screen is no longer filled with such blatant incoehesion.
