Hollismason posted:For those who have seen it how actually disturbing or gross is this. For the most part it's closer to American Psycho and Funny Games, but because it's in von Trier's own more essayist narrative style it sometimes gets into a kind of classic exploitation film tell of just casually juxtaposing a literal clipshow from his filmography with, like, another montage of real world atrocities and human rights abuses. That part is definitely akin to Cannibal Holocaust. Although von Trier never stages anything of his own creation that is intrinsically unethical for spectacle, he and Deodato have a kindred reactionary anti-elitist chip, this idea that the film intrinsically presents as laughable, that what von Trier does to curry such vitriol is incompatible with any proportional response to violence or misogyny or nihilism or whatever in reality. Of course, Deodato, the butcher, never expressed any humility. The House That Jack Built ends with an almost didactically spelled-out metaphor of how an artist can not reach heaven by plumbing the depths of hell.
