Our take

Part two of von Trier’s provocative erotica plunges us deeper into the darkest recesses of its female protagonist’s sex addiction. Apparently inspired by the writings of Mann, Dostoevsky and Proust, the highbrow undeniably rubs up against the softcore—and the results are nothing short of scandalous.
