“Europa is one part Casablanca, two parts Eraserhead, and all parts excellent,” writes Entertainment Weekly in an “A-grade” review of Lars von Trier’s black-and-white and color movie, which came out in December in a Criterion special edition. In Artforum, Steven Erickson also picks up on the many allusions—to Fassbinder, Godard, Bergman, and noir, as well—in this “astonishingly playful” World War II head trip. And in a review for Paper, Dennis Dermody calls von Trier’s voyage into darkest filmland “dazzling, hypnotic . . . As the last part of von Trier’s ‘Europa Trilogy,’ it really stands alone as an enthralling, thrilling ride.”
