Zentropa/Europa (Danish) Eddie Constantive, Barbara Sukowa. Lars Von Trier (Director)

This art house suspense movie is pretty entertaining .I like the way it starts with someone trying to hypnotize you. It takes place in 1945 when the American’s took over Germany. This American of German dissent goes over to help in the efforts to rebuild Germany. As soon as he steps in, people try to use his neutrality and his naive ness to their advantage. I would seriously recommend this movie. Mind you, not a lot of action. Half of it is in German, the other in English.
