A withering indictment of American social values, written and directed by a man who has never set foot in America, Lars von Trier’s Dogville is an ambitious provocation. With an all-star cast led by Nicole Kidman, this epic Brechtian drama is a raw examination of small-town hypocrisy and prejudice.

The ultimate postmodern musical, von Trier’s quirky genre hybrid hinges on a ravishing performance by Icelandic pop star Björk, which makes the most of her innocent vitality. This idiosyncratic fantasy and overpowering tearjerker took home the Palme d’Or at Cannes, along with Best Actress for Björk!

A controversy stormed, the Dogme 95 movement took center stage, and an angry critic got kicked out of the Cannes screening. When the dust settled, Lars von Trier was left with this poignant, boundary-pushing film, which explores the very price of provocation. Presented here in a new restoration!

Director Lars von Trier’s magnum opus, The Kingdom is a TV phenomenon three decades in the making. A compulsively entertaining supernatural mystery, this incomparable blend of workplace comedy, potent melodrama, and nail-biting ghost story pitches science against superstition in unholy conflict.

A difficult yet rewarding film from the equally complex Danish provocateur Lars von Trier! This fiercely polemical, little-seen sequel to Dogville tackles a topic as sensitive as slavery, all the while maintaining its predecessor’s Brechtian premise, anti-American bent, and yes, its brilliance.
