PS: Good call on the "castration vs. circumcision". I stand corrected. Although, I think clitoris removal just falls under "genital mutilation"... either way, eek.

No Female circumcision means removing of the clitoris....
I'm not an expert on Von Trier - I've only seen The Idiots and Dogville from him (as well as The Antichrist) and I didn't think they used 'shock-value and cryptic delivery in order to fake depth' at all..
I can see why u say it about AC though - it i very heavy handed but I think you're being very hard on it - and this is a film I though was only ok (mostly fpr the reasons you stated too)
