Lars Von Trier's early masterpiece EUROPA is one of the most visually striking films ever made. Alternating between glorious black-and-white and lush colour cinematography and other astonishing visuals, EUROPA is symbolic of the death throes of Nazism and the moral culpability of Americans and others who arrived too late to save the victims of this violent and oppressive regime. In 1945, Leo Kessler, an American of German descent, arrives in post-war Germany in order to work and explore the land of his father. He unexpectedly discovers a conquered and destroyed country that is overshadowed by darkness and evil, at the end of the Nazi regime. On arrival, his uncle gets him a job as a night conductor on the Zentropa Railway Line, owned by the Nazi sympathiser and magnate, Max Hartmann. The American tries to remain neutral to the ongoing purging of loyalists by the Allied forces. Unfortunately he falls in love with the magnate's daughter and finds himself being used by both the Americans and the influential family. With his neutrality compromised, Leo is finally forced to make some extremely horrifying and tragic decisions.
