Yeah, Lars Von Trier can be strange, but he will sure leave an impression... Beside his recents movies, then I really enjoyed "Kingdom I+II" (danish version), and "The Idiots" (also in danish). Stephen King bought the rights to "Kingdom", and its showing it on ABC as "Kingdom Hospital", but what I have seen of it, then I enjoyed the orginal version by Lars Von Trier more than Stephen King´s.
Since we are on the topic of movies, then The Downfall (Der Untergang) looks promising - it tries to portray a more three-dimensional Adolf Hitler in his last 12 days.
