Review of The Element of Crime (1984) by Jace L — 17 Feb 2013
From what I've seen Lars Von Trier either makes great films or mediocre films, this is the worse one though. The lay out was interesting, with an orange creme filter over the footage, and an intriguing story line. The film itself though quickly tried to hard to feel surreal. It made it feel phony. Then there's the performance by Elphick, who was just a dreadful lead actor. The film ended up collapsing onto its fancy uniform, the protagonist contradicted himself and the film failed.
2 stars-.
