Emily Watson - really like her - great actress

Irritating? Well, I think that was part of the point - you're supposed to be annoyed by her behaviour. Nicely subverts religion too. It was, though, relentlessly bleak I must admit. Bit like living in Ipswich, I imagine ...

Von Trier thankfully resisted the temptation to overdo the boat scenes as it could have been very gratuitous (unless I saw a cut version).
