Evil, for von Trier, is not obviously malicious or dark-sided, but rather the veneer of precious moments and gestures that prevents humans from doing and feeling what they actually want. The planet and it’s heavy-handed nomenclature dispel a nasty, yet authentic, worldview suggesting that all of these things that make us happy are so irrelevant that it’s a wonder that we aren’t running and screaming, dreading death, from the moment we first learn to walk and speak. It’s an extreme notion, but do we expect less from him?
