"The house that Jack built" is black-lined, long-awaited work of Lars von Trier, director of "Nymphomaniac", "Antichrist" and "Melancholy." Starring Matt Dillon, Uma Thurman, Riley Keough and Bruno Ganz.

The title character Jack is a new character in the pop culture psychopath, next to Jack the Ripper, Dexter and Hannibal Lecter. The master of world cinema shows over a dozen years in the life of a serial killer, a hellish intelligent perfectionist, full of contradictions, weaknesses and minor obsessions. Jack is an aesthetic, admirer of painting, architecture, poetry and trips to the bosom of nature. The killer looks at his crimes as dark works of art. What shape will give your perfect crime?

Trier made many films about good women ("Breaking the waves", "Dancing in the dark"). This time he decided to talk about the bad man, reaching for the motifs of Francis Bacon's paintings, William Blake's poetry and the music of the outstanding pianist Glenn Gould. Through the form of the dark aesthetist Lars von Trier, he ridicules social hypocrisy and exposes the mechanisms of political correctness. "The house that Jack built" is a provocative, bold, full of visual ideas cinema seeking answers to the question about the nature of good and evil.
