Dancer in the Dark (2000)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2000, Denmark, Lars von Trier
  • 1 Comment

One of von Trierโ€™s very best, this is bold and provocative filmmaking that very few could attempt to pull off with such skill and artistry.

House That Jack Built, The (2018)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2018, Denmark, Lars von Trier
  • 4 Comments

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)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2013, Denmark, Germany, Lars von Trier
  • 2 Comments

A slightly stronger work than the first volumeโ€”one that benefits greatly from Charlotte Gainsbourgโ€™s bravura performance.

Nymphomaniac: Vol. I (2013)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2013, Denmark, Germany, Lars von Trier
  • 4 Comments

3 stars

The Danish provocateurโ€™s ambitious attempt to intellectualise sex and sexuality comes across as both fascinating and plodding in this first volume.

Breaking the Waves (1996)

  • Criterion Collection, von Trier, Lars
  • 1996, Denmark, Lars von Trier, UK
  • 2 Comments

Blessed with an exceptional performance by Emily Watson, von Trierโ€™s complex if disturbing take on religion and sex asks of us to have faith in his vision.

Antichrist (2009)

  • Criterion Collection, von Trier, Lars
  • 2009, Denmark, Germany, Lars von Trier
  • 4 Comments

One would expect no less from a filmmaker hell-bent in making you severely depressed and squirmy โ€“ in the name of art, but what beautiful, sensationalizing art.

Melancholia (2011)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2011, Denmark, Lars von Trier, Sweden
  • 4 Comments

One of the films of the decade, this is a bold work by Lars von Trier that is as much a unique cinematic experience as it is thought-provoking.

Dogville (2003)

  • von Trier, Lars
  • 2003, Denmark, Lars von Trier
  • 1 Comment

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.

Guilty, The (2018)

  • 2018, Denmark
  • Leave a comment

3.5 stars

This high-concept thriller set in an emergency call room, and in real-time, delivers the requisite tension with just words over the phone.
