To me, it's simply a film that explores the mental process of "recuperation" after a grave loss and the insanity that process may unfortunately produce. It's done through various symbolic cues, including animals and people, so whether they are real or not I think misses the point. Regardless, the film is polarizing, which seems to be von Trier's primary objective. It was a great piece despite it being occasionally overindulgent.
