Review of The Idiots

The Idiots (1998)
6/10
Disturbing yet engaging
23 May 1999
I found Trier's style in handheld camera work to be a little tiresome and annoying yet it gave a new dimension to the film. Idioterne almost makes the audience a participant in the "madness" which could make some people feel uncomfortable. It is a documentary style film that combines comedy and drama (and a plethora of explicit nudity)that ultimately stirs the senses as well as place the BBFC upon new ground. I recommend this film to any Trier fan as well as those who want something totally different to conventional cinema. Beware: this film may offend!
