Europa (1991)
Country: NL
Technical: bw/col/scope 114m
Director: Lars von Trier
Cast: Jean-Marc Barr, Barbara Sukowa, Udo Kier
Synopsis:
An American of German background takes a job as a sleeping car attendant in post-war Germany, but finds it hard to remain aloof from the political machinations of both his employer and the Allied administration.
Review:
Von Trier's formalist experiment in film noir with political overtones is often ravishing to look at in its use of colour and mise-en-scène, but don't expect anyone to act naturalistically.
