| Abstract | In a highly technical visual style, director Lars von Trier explores the themes of accountability, gullibility, and guilt in post-World War II Germany. A simplistic American takes a job as a conductor of the Zentropa railway. The train serves as an allegory for postwar nation-building and a reminder of Germany's recent past. He meets the heiress of Zentropa, who seduces him into taking part of a pro-Nazi plot. |
