Description

We're going back to Lars von Trier's filmography with a look at The House That Jack Built for this final installment of Difficult Films II. A serial killer story with a nice series of vignettes, this look at Matt Dillon's murdering antihero is at times bleak and also darkly comic; we talk about the funniness inherent in the film as well as its most disturbing elements, the metatextual commentary, and a lot more. We're also drinking Sloop Brewing's (No) Tan Line NEIPA.
