I liked part 1 better than part 2 - but it's best to look at this as a whole. Though shocking, the sex is not titillating. Though the merits of art vs pornography will certainly be brought up, those familiar with the work of Lars von Trier knows he is not one to shy away from pushing the boundries. Great performances all around - even Shia LaBeouf manages to ring out a decent role. It's really the young Joe, Stacy Martin, who shines and watch for a stellar scene from Uma Thurman. Part 1 - with Christian Slater, seems to ring more true than part 2 for me.
