Watch three clips from Lars Von Trier’s controversial Cannes shocker The House That Jack Built

May 16, 2018 by Amie Cranswick

Following the world premiere of Lars Von Trier’s The House That Jack Built at Cannes, which reportedly saw up to 100 people walk out of the screening due to its controversial scenes, three new clips from the film have arrived online featuring Matt Dillon, Uma Thurman, Riley Keough, and Jeremy Davies; watch them here…

THE HOUSE THAT JACK BUILT takes place in 1970s USA. We follow the highly intelligent Jack through 5 incidents and are introduced to the murders that define Jack’s development as a serial killer.

We experience the story from Jack’s point of view. He views each murder as an artwork in itself, even though his dysfunction gives him problems in the outside world. Despite the fact that the final and inevitable police intervention is drawing ever near (which both provokes and puts pressure on Jack) he is – contrary to all logic – set on taking greater and greater chances. Along the way we experience Jack’s descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and in-depth explanations of, for Jack, dangerous and difficult maneuvers.
