Storyline

The planet has cooled down to the extent that it snows even in July and people are dying of mysterious causes, while the global economy is on the very brink of collapse. In the middle of this, John (Joaquin Phoenix) and his wife, the famous figure skater Elena (Claire Danes), are getting a divorce. John soon learns that Elena's family has cloned her, so they can continue to live off her success even after she stops skating, but they'll have to get rid of the original first.

Short Review

By breaking the very rules that put this auteur on the map, Vinterberg seems to be redefining the experimental film form. Well worth catching.
