“This truly is top tier Lars von Trier, but having said that, I cannot stress enough that you are aware of what you’re getting yourself into before the lights go down. I strongly suggest you read Eric Kohn’s review linked below. This film contains themes and graphic imagery that some will indeed find upsetting and may not be able to handle. Be prepared.” – Andrew Jupin, JBFC Senior Programmer

Boundary-pushing, transgressive cinematic visionary Lars von Trier (Antichrist, Melancholia) returns with one of his most daring, masterfully provocative works yet. In five audacious episodes, failed architect and arch-sociopath Jack (Matt Dillon, in a fabulously unsettling performance) recounts the elaborately orchestrated murders—each, as he views them, a towering work of art—that define his “career” as a serial killer. Mixing his trademark pitch black humor, transcendent surrealism, and renegade musings on everything from history to architecture to cinema, von Trier fashions a radical, blazingly personal inquiry into violence, art, and the twin acts of creation and destruction. With Uma Thurman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Riley Keough, and Bruno Ganz.
