The Danish provocateur returns with an extremely violent and nihilistic work, one that is nasty yet utterly fascinating at the same time.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. II (2013)
A slightly stronger work than the first volume—one that benefits greatly from Charlotte Gainsbourg’s bravura performance.
Nymphomaniac: Vol. I (2013)
The Danish provocateur’s ambitious attempt to intellectualise sex and sexuality comes across as both fascinating and plodding in this first volume.
Breaking the Waves (1996)
Blessed with an exceptional performance by Emily Watson, von Trier’s complex if disturbing take on religion and sex asks of us to have faith in his vision.
Antichrist (2009)
One would expect no less from a filmmaker hell-bent in making you severely depressed and squirmy – in the name of art, but what beautiful, sensationalizing art.
Melancholia (2011)
A bold work by Lars von Trier that is as much a unique cinematic experience as it is thought-provoking.
Dogville (2003)
Takes too long to say what it wants to be consistently interesting, but one must marvel at how Lars von Trier and his ensemble cast do so much with so little.
