If you like this one I recommend you the following:

Angel Heart
Lord of Illusions
Jacob's Ladder

Why? For the similar atmospheres (although Lord of Illusions is a bit more "majestetic" as I see it as HUGE Clive Barker fan). Also the stories are a bit similar (more or less, it depends on what you think about those films.).

Has anybody seen those three oder films? What do you think about those four?

I'm also a big Lars von Trier (,Jim Jarmusch and Federico Fellini*) fan and The Element of Crime is not his best one but at least it is GOOD. Keep in mind that it's one of his first!

*by the way, those three mentioned are my favourite ones, and Fellini is #1.

The look and feel of it reminded me of the future scenes in Twelve Monkeys.

This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.
