A virtuosic act of defiance against his detractors, Lars Von Trier’s The House That Jack Built is a brilliant, ultra-violent portrayal of a serial killer. Starring a mesmeric Matt Dillon on terrifying form, this Dantean plunge into the mind of madness is a provocative blend of comedy and horror.

Bringing a series of events into prismatic light with its Rashomon-effect structure, Anne Fontaine’s policier magnifies the repercussions of emotional entanglement in the workplace. Virginie Efira, Grégory Gadebois, and Omar Sy form an indomitable trifecta of French talent in this riveting film.
