The first of Lars von Trier's "Conscience Trilogy", tells the story of a pure, kind, slightly neurotic woman who sacrifices herself for the love of faith. The film is depressing and sad, with a strong emotional impact. Russ experimented with hand-held photography. The painting style is rough and dim, the form of the chapter-based narrative is similar to [Dog Town], free-jumping emotional editing, straightforward sex scenes and Emily Watson's amazing acting skills impressive. (9.0/10)

With faint reality and brilliant dreams, von Trier consistently projected his views on men and women onto the screen, barren windy hillsides and religious-strapped towns, seemingly stupid girls looking at the hares on the roadside, At the bottom of my heart is kindness and loveliness, and this small town begins to show its vicious face. After the dark and distorted mountains and rivers are exhausted, we finally begin to believe that this is indeed a story "in the name of love".

An Elder: Can you even tell us what matrimony is?
