Caught a unique film in the early hours of the day.
(42) Idioterne (The Idiots) (1998): Another original Lars on Trier film, with several familiar faces from his and Thomas Vinterberg's previous works, particularly their Dogme 95 films. This film is about a group of regular, normal people of seemingly average or higher intelligence who live together commune-style, and in public, as a group, act like they're mentally retarded for whatever number of reasons you can imagine. They embrace a concept of "discovering your inner idiot" for reasons therapeutic.
There are some very funny moments in this movie. There are also some scenes of male and female nudity, with one scene becoming a short-but-graphic orgy. In Danish with English subtitles, this is a film definitely worth watching. Utterly von Trier.
