Wait 30secs. Movie still not playing? Click the "Can't Watch?" tab.
Click this first
A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.
If it still doesn't play, Click here to watch the movie
The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
A woman with a kindly face, Karen is at a restaurant when she encounters a group of mentally disabled people on their day out. She ends up driving back with them, only to discover they’re a bunch of regular folk who don’t want to be normies. Karen spends a couple of weeks with the group who appear to have been together for a while, as they’ve all honed their spassing skills to spectacularly enviable levels. As the days pass, the group’s convictions and their personal stories, including Karen’s, slowly begin to emerge.
The whole act of spassing is to channel the ‘inner idiot’ – something the world apparently needs more of. But mostly, the group uses spassing for their own personal entertainment and to exploit social norms of acceptable behaviour and the discomfort people often experience while around the disabled.
There are times in The Idiots where you will crack up with them, and other times, at them. There are times you’ll find them mean and callous and other times approve of them turning the tables on those that are often at the other end of the receiving end.
Recall watching an interview with Lars von Trier where he said he got the idea from some guy who had a theory that retards were angels – beings from God that were different from humans, as a sort of reminder of what could be.
I think EUM viewers might have gone too far channeling their “inner idiot” on “The Creative Writing” page AKA “The Retard Page.”
Anywho, “The Idiots” isn’t one of my favorite Lars von Trier efforts but it is an enjoyable watch. The boom mic came in to the frame at least 8 times but in a film like this I suppose it’s more acceptable than it would be in a film like “Antichrist” (2009) or “Melancholia” (2011). Honestly, I found the premise to be quite frankly, pardon the expression, idiotic. There are some knee slapper moments and, I’m not sure if I was suppose to but, I laughed the whole way through the ending credits after Karen received her much needed dope slap. I think the solo harmonica had something to do with it too. This wouldn’t be a go-to Trier film for someone checking out his work for the first time. 3 and a half stars.
Goddamnit. Karen was such a milf in the early stages of the movie. She made me want to fuck the innocence right out of her until the spazticity became contagious and she inherited Down’s from the other vacuous window lickers.
Funny at times, but Karen’s making me downgrade my rating to 2⅓/5 fart-soaked wheelchair cushions.
best movie ever
Ahhh, my dear Lars von Triers never fails to please.
Won’t your dick reach that far?
wish i could breed spasses. they would fetch a good price at the local markets. either that or rent them out at good price for fuck dates.
Kinda makes you wonder if they used authentic mentally retarded people. Sorry I had to say it haha, I’m going to hell I know, cant wait.
Might as well start calling it fuckedupmovies at this point, is the eff really necessary. Thats what you get when you let these types run the country.
love this movie… is it supposed to be a comedy or not? I find some scenes hilarious
Awesome movie, Thx alot. I knew a guy who was an engineer back home but couldn’t get a decent job in his new country , so he started working as a care taker in an institution for mentally disabled people and over a time he started liking it and enjoying it…..after few years you couldn’t really distinguish him from the rest of them. He eventually passed away during jumping bumping. He had a heart attack at the age of 72.
whats most uncomfortable about the crazy is their freedom thats why we fear not them but the situation they are or are not aware of I think
retards
Thank you so much for adding this film. I enjoyed it a lot. It’s well worth the time to watch. Maybe letting out our inner Idiot is a good idea from time to time. My wife thinks I do that anyway. 🙂 When my stepdad Jorn explained this movie to me. He didn’t do it justice. But with his thick Danish accent. I only catch some of what he says.
Keep up the work you do and thanks again.
Thank you I shall get up early to watch this while the rest of the family are still in bed
