“I am not an enormous believer in research being the be-all and end-all. I get suspicious when I read about actors spending six months in a clinic, say, in order to play someone who is sick.”

    DOGVILLE

    LARS VON TRIER Denmark, 2003

    One part Brechtian experiment, and one part send up of America, Lars von Trier imported English language stars (including Nicole Kidman) and staged a 1930s gangsters’ tale in a studio stripped of all realism but blistered with turmoil. You’ve never seen anything like this!

    SNOWPIERCER

    BONG JOON HO South Korea, 2013

    Before the global success of Parasite, Bong Joon Ho made his English-language debut with this high-concept vision of a world on the verge of collapse. Jump aboard with a monster ensemble including Octavia Spencer, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt & Song Kang-ho and let the clash of class hierarchies begin!

    MANDERLAY

    LARS VON TRIER Denmark, 2005

    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.
