If you loved Dancer in the Dark, try The House That Jack Built

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Lars von Trier, and they sit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Dancer in the Dark, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The House That Jack Built is

A 1970s American landscape, a roadside diner at dusk, the sound of a car engine. A failed architect's meticulous crimes unfold, each a gruesome work of art, as he recounts twelve years of orchestrated violence. Von Trier's dark humor undercuts the brutality.
