Similar to Lars von Trier's 'Europa' (1991)?


Besides the title, does this movie have any similarities between Lars von Trier's "Europa" (1991)?

reply

Not really. Von Trier's film tells about the post-war Germany, the rebuilding efforts and the questions of guilt. Also, the German anti-occupation Werwolf resistance movement is featured, although it's highly fictionalized.

This movie is Nazi era while Trier's film is post-Nazi. Both have an undercurrent of dark humor running through them.

And this is less self-indulgent.

Why would you even ask this if you disqualify the title?
