Description

Boundary-pushing cinematic visionary Lars von Trier returns with one of his most daring, masterfully provocative works yet. In five audacious episodes, failed architect and arch-sociopath Jack (Matt Dillon) recounts the elaborately orchestrated murders—each, as he views them, a towering work of art—that define his "career" as a serial killer. Mixing 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, Riley Keough, and Bruno Ganz.

    I really wanted to like this movie and I kind of did, but there was a scene that made me stop watching and that was when Jack cuts one of the feet off of a duck and then shows the duck trying to swim in the water afterwards. For some reason that scene really bothered me and I wish I never saw it. I just didn’t feel like watching any more after that, perhaps because it looked so real and being cruel to little helpless animals like that really bothers me. Matt Dillon is really good in it, though.

    A really different kind of movie and the director takes this story to a whole other level. It’s quite hard to describe. But the story is broken down in different parts all coming to a dramatic and crazy conclusion.

    This is a very graphic violent film first off. Queasy need not apply. Considering the structure of the film as a whole, I believe the metaphor that is presented to the viewer is a beautiful representation of the way we lead our lives. We’re all building houses that one day we will have to dwell in after we complete its construction. Matt Dillion was created for this role. If you take this film at face value, it’s a gritty horror film from the perspective of the killer. If you can look into the mind of the director you will see a cautionary tale reminding us the reality we see in our personal lives isn’t the same the human race lives in. I choose a four star rating simply because the frequent camera shifting during points of the movie added nothing for me. Wonderful for the deep thinkers.
