Shocking the world. Shocking controversial work written by a genius director

Lars von Trier's films are often met with ``pros and cons'', but this time it seems unlikely that such words will suffice. After all, during the film's debut at the Cannes Film Festival, a large number of audience members left the film midway through, while those who remained until the end gave it a six-minute standing ovation. Just disgust and enthusiasm. These two polarized whirlpools of emotions will never be reconciled no matter how far we go, so I'm refraining from saying, ``You should definitely watch it!'' this time around. If you still want to watch it, please first tap your heart five times, ask yourself if you have the mental capacity to do so, and make sure you are over 18 years old before proceeding with caution. This film is rated R18+.)

Well, what's interesting about it...to put it simply, it's a story about a "serial killer." Over the course of 12 years, the main character Jack (Matt Dillon) is involved in countless cases. We have selected five of them and weaved together horrifying depictions of insane crimes, a hint of black humor, and bizarre and outlandish "dialogue" that will make you wonder, "Huh? What the heck is that?" .

When Jack opens his mouth, he uses his unusual logic to say, ``My murder is art,'' so to speak. Interspersed with scenes of Glenn Gould's piano performance, David Bowie's " Fame ," numerous historical footage, and even famous scenes from Trier's previous films, the movie becomes even more unpredictable. The strange atmosphere continues to accelerate.
