"En esta tercera obra poética, Gustavo López dialoga con el trabajo de Lars Von Trier descubriendo las intersecciones que se producen entre el cine y la lírica. En un viaje a lo profundo y los claroscuros del amor y el desamor, busca respuestas a su vacío en diálogos reales o imaginarios con las figuras que se proyectan en la pantalla."Conversamos en el #TraficantesDeCultura con Gustavo López, autor de Intersecciones, su poemario editado por EDICIONES DEL GATO.Conduce: Humberto Fuentes

For our final episode for season two of Locarno Meets, we were delighted to be joined by actress Caroline Goodall, whose illustrious career has seen her turn in remarkable performances in now-classic films by many of the greatest names in contemporary cinema. Goodall was in Locarno to promote her latest film, the Piazza Grande-playing “Sew Torn”, directed by the prodigious young director Freddy MacDonald. We spoke with the marvellous actress about working, in this case, with a gifted filmmaker in his early twenties, as well as reminiscing about some of her major films, like “Schindler's List”, “Hook”, “The Princess Diaries”, and Lars von Trier's “Nymphomaniac”.

Quel plus grand et effroyable spectacle que la destruction du monde ? L'Apocalypse de Saint-Jean, écrit à la fin du 1ᵉʳ siècle après Jésus-Christ, ressemble à un script de superproduction hollywoodienne : « Le ciel se retira comme un livre que l'on roule ; et les rois de la terre, les grands du monde, et tous les hommes, esclaves ou libres, se cachèrent dans les cavernes parce que le grand jour de leur colère est arrivé, et qui pourra subsister ? » Le texte biblique inspire depuis des siècles nombre de représentations, et reste une source inépuisable pour l'art spectaculaire par excellence, le cinéma.Un cycle à la Cinémathèque française, adossé à une grande exposition à la BNF, explore la représentation de l'Apocalypse au cinéma.Nous recevons François Angelier, l'un des commissaires de l'exposition et expert associé au cycle de la Cinémathèque lors duquel sont projetés 25 longs métrages, notamment Deep Impact de Mimi Leder, Dr Folamour de Stanley Kubrick, la série des Mad Max de George Miller, ou encore Melancholia de Lars Von Trier.À l'affiche de notre cinéma également ce samedi 15 février 2025, nous reviendrons sur les polémiques qui plombent les chances d'Emilia Perez aux Oscars, et notamment les critiques négatives émises au Mexique (avec notre correspondante Gwendolina Duval).► Pauses musicales : System System de Voilààà et Lass, Loose control de Jafunk, Apocalypse de Cigarette after sex.

As a gift for all you lovers out there, we're covering Lars Von Trier's Antichrist. Brace yourselves for ALL the genital mutilation.

Le cinéma, c'est toujours une question de point de vue. Pour The Brutalist, Brady Corbet annonce d'emblée qu'il voit grand. La toute première image de son film est un logo oublié. Celui de la VistaVision, un format de prises de vues plus grand que le Cinémascope, élargissant l'image en faisant circuler la pellicule horizontalement. Il est né au milieu des années 50. Pas très loin de la période d'un récit suivant la reconstruction mentale d'un architecte hongrois ayant fui l'Europe nazie pour s'essayer au rêve américain. Le rêve de Corbet, acteur croisé chez Haneke, Lars Von Trier ou Bertrand Bonello, est de renouer avec le cinéma hollywoodien pour raconter, plus qu'un nouveau départ, la seconde naissance de l'Amérique, celle du capitalisme dévorant. Ce sera au travers du chantier colossal d'une mini-cité commandée à l'émigré par un richissime industriel. Plus les murs s'érigent, plus la relation entre les deux hommes se fissure, le mécène se dévoilant à la tête d'un clan familial de prédateurs. Corbet construit autour d'eux une œuvre somme, sorte de roman national américain comme il n'y en avait pas eu depuis There Will Be Blood ou le Coppola du Parrain 2. D'autant plus impressionnant que réalisé avec un budget minime, The Brutalist renoue avec le souffle épique de ces grandes fresques opératiques comme leur capacité à scruter la face sombre de la civilisation moderne.À leur manière, les belges de Strip-tease intégral font eux aussi dans la dissection de la société. Au cœur des années 80, cette émission avait transformé les codes du documentaire télé, par de saisissants portraits de spécimens humains. Pour fêter ses quarante ans, la revoilà au cinéma avec un film compilation de cinq reportages, passant les mœurs des années 2000 à la loupe. Immersion chez des influenceuses à Dubaï, une singulière famille d'écolos, un hypo-hypercondriaque ou une stand-uppeuse amatrice, Strip-tease intégral joue plus que jamais d'un effet miroir quand le point commun à ses segments est la résurgence de l'apparence et du narcissisme. Toujours sur le même modèle d'un filmage sans commentaire, cette collection d'ego-trips s'en permet pourtant un via un fil rouge menant à une estomaquante dernière partie, affirmant que l'exhibitionnisme somatique généralisé touche désormais littéralement jusque dans nos chairs. À la télé, Strip-tease intégral avait pour slogan, "l'émission qui vous déshabille". Au cinéma, elle vient de rhabiller le regard documentaire par un mélange de sidération et de compassion, sur l'ordinaire de l'époque, entre vanités et quête de reconnaissance.The Brutalist, Strip-tease intégral. En salles le 12 février.

The Celluloid Mirror is BACK with a slight format upgrade and a whole lot of movie discussion for you. Today Sean and Nicole are talking about Coralie Fargeat's Oscar-nominated body horror Hollywood / start-up satire The Substance, as well as Lars von Trier's long and unpleasant possible masterpiece Dogville. Both films are critiques of the United States specifically, by European directors who chose to shoot in their home countries (and took verrrrry different approaches to making their sets and locations look like America). But that's just a jumping off point to discussing what the two films reflect about gender, and the suffering of white women in particular under white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, and more. It's Nicole Kidman vs Demi Moore! MAGA vs Hollywood! French LA vs chalk on a stage!  The Making of The Substance Featurette (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H64HNvXrqU) Coralie Fargeat's short film The Telegram (https://vimeo.com/45183427) The Substance reviews on Letterboxd (https://letterboxd.com/film/the-substance/reviews/by/entry-rating/) Dogville reviews on Letterboxd (https://letterboxd.com/film/dogville/reviews/by/entry-rating/) Nicole's Letterboxd list of non-US directors making films about + set in the US that are shot elsewhere (https://letterboxd.com/nicolewitte/list/non-us-directors-making-films-outside-the/) List of all TCM double features (https://letterboxd.com/nicolewitte/list/the-celluloid-mirror-double-features) Our previous discussion of Lars Von Trier (https://www.patreon.com/posts/im-good-right-2-65216400) Bonus TCM and much more at https://www.patreon.com/4milecircus Music "Twisted" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

De Jean le prophète à Mad-Max, les récits de fin du monde dans la pop culture et la science-fiction. Une fiction sonore documentée produite dans le cadre de l'exposition Apocalypse, Hier et demain, à la Bibliothèque nationale de France du 4 février au 8 juin 2025. Dans un futur très lointain, Souviens-toi de l'Apocalypse nous invite à enquêter sur la fin du monde. Grâce à une rencontre inattendue et la découverte d'un manuscrit ancien, cette fiction post-apocalyptique nous révèle comment le Livre de l'Apocalypse, ou Livre de la Révélation, a profondément marqué la culture « populaire », à travers les récits de science-fiction, le cinéma, le manga et le jeu vidéo. « Heureux celui qui lit ce livre, heureux ceux qui écoutent ce message prophétique et conservent attentivement ce qui est écrit ici. Car le moment où tout cela doit arriver est proche. » Au 1er siècle après Jésus-Christ, dans son Livre de l'Apocalypse, Jean le prophète nous mets en garde contre l'imminence de la fin du monde. Depuis, on retrouve cette même angoisse du « délai » à travers de nombreux récits de science-fiction, et notamment au cinéma, avec les films Take Shelter (Jeff Nichols, 2011), Don't Look Up : Déni cosmique (Adam McKay, 2021), et Melancholia (Lars Von Trier, 2011). Hantise individuelle, vécue au sein d'un groupe ou d'une société entière, tous ces films nous plongent dans l'angoisse de la Fin imminente.

Un Cinema fatto di sofferenza, dolore, malvagità e dove gli esseri umani sono pedine di un cosmo cinico e incomprensibile. In poche parole, il controverso mondo del famigerato artista Lars Von Trier.

Send us a textBOSS OF IT ALL (2006)Well, as the famous playwright Antonio Gambini once wrote: All good things (and Season 13 of TGTPTU) must come to a close. And what better stage for which our four hosts to give their final thoughts and review of the four directors covered this 4x4 season, as well as their general opinions of Lars von Trier, than with LvT's office comedy THE BOSS OF IT ALL (2006)? (Sorry, we can't hear you response. This isn't a radio show, and you're not live on the air and it was a rhetorical question as The House that Jack Built would have been better, your author of the Show Notes knows, but the movie was banned from discussion by the TGTPTU's boss of it all.) Before LvT's crippling depression set in (see previous episode covering 2009's Antichrist), while mainly dealing with anxiety, and in-between his second and still unmade third installment of his America Trilogy, the enfant terrible and Cannes darling challenged himself with a genre he'd yet to, and hasn't returned to, film: a comedy. While edited using his Dogme 95-influenced time-cut style, instead of hand-held camerawork by LvT himself The Boss of It All was another- first-and-only for the filmmaker in using Automavision. This LvT invented technique let a computer decide focus and movement as replacement for a cameraperson. Allowing the blame to be put on the computer instead of himself, LvT symbolically repeats the conceit of his comedy where the character of Ravn hires an amateur actor and playwright Gambini stan Kristoffer, played by Jens Albinus (mentioned previous ep), to pretend to be The Boss of It All, an absentee owner that Ravn created to pretend he did not own the company and to shunt unpopular decisions but now needs Kristoffer to pretend to be in order to sell the company. Hilarity ensues.    Join the fearsome foursome for their collective explorations of neoliberal capitalism while, individually, Ken predicts beyond the new year into the near future by betting LvT has sent drones back in time to shoot the comedy that will be Year 2025; Thomas nearly learns Danish; Ryan reveals he hates the look of a $20k engine inside a Datsun; and Jack stays awake for the entire film.  And keep listening past the wrap of our fourth movie by our fourth director to enjoy a surprise visit from a musical guest--the Boss himself--who introduces hosts' LvT four-film rankings and Season 13 reflections.THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @mrkoral.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Send us a text4X4: Lars von Trier #3Breaking our own arbitrary rules just like Lars von Trier, the enfant terrible final director of Season 13's 4x4, the TGTPTU crew for our final pairing breaks with release date order to review the later paired film earlier, giving you this week ANTICHRIST (2009).  From the throes of depression, LVT emerged to sink the world into his vision of grief, anxiety, and madness with the horror story of a couple (played by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg), their gendered power dynamics, and a totally normal depiction of married sex life. Not only are these two main husband-wife characters unnamed (something host Jack hates), with the exception their child who won't survive the movie's Prologue, all other characters are extras who appear with faces blurred, maintaining the isolation and focus on the archetypes of a controlling male and a woman who cannot find herself in the narratives of motherhood. Or, that's one interpretation of many readings Antichrist allows as it questions, potentially: whether human nature is good or evil, if there is a different nature for women than men, how nature influences nurture, and if nature itself can be framed in terms of good or evil. Also left to questioning: the crew on this film as to whether LVT would finish the movie as his struggle with depression persisted. But what is not open to question is how visually arresting the film is. In combination with the Dogme 95-inspired handheld camerawork complemented by the time-cut style discussed last episode with Dancer in the Dark (also with no preproduction rehearsals for actors), LVT introduces two visual styles new to his filmography. The first, shot in a repetitive extreme close-ups, is a sequence reminiscent of Aronofsky's hip-hop montage (see Season 11) and 2024's Cuckoo (see future Season 19 Singer vs. Singer) that captures the feelings of anxiety experienced, initially, by the wife. The second stylist tone, and the one that opens the tragedy of their neglected child falling from a window while they are having black-and-white penetrative sex, uses high resolution slow motion for gorgeously crisp imagery that later is repeated but spectrally layered as if in a dream. From the hosts this week: Thomas demonstrates effectively totally knows what sex is; Ryan goes Cartesian; Jack receives a visit from the Sight and Sound people about putting Audition on his list; and Ken is a grump who wants LA to burn to the ground. Join one pair of hosts in praising the film or perhaps pose the question as a reporter for the Daily Mail did at Cannes (available on the Blu-ray) to LVT: “Would you please, for my benefit, explain and justify why you made this movie?”  What does it really matter? Chaos reigns.  Content Note: While a forest retreat where Dafoe's character discovers a mommy deer, a helpful crow, and a talking fox might sound like a family-friend animated film, the genital mutilation in the film definitely veers toward adult content. So CONTENT WARNING: while you might enjoy this film as two TGTPTU hosts did, you're not going to leave this film content.  Final Note: At the release of this episode (late-January 2025), Bob's Big Boy in LA has been booked solid and the front of the building covered with flowers, but at the time of this episode's recording David Lynch had yet to slip into the ether. THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @mrkoral.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Rya

Send us a textDANCER IN THE DARK (2000)Broadcasting live from 1964, and entirely in song, this week's very special episode of TGTPTU covers Lars von Trier's sixth film (but only our second of his covered this 4x4): DANCER IN THE DARK (2000).  It's been over a hundred episodes, since Season 1's Paint Yer Hereafter ep during our Clint Eastwood coverage, that TGTPTU has covered a musical. Dancer in the Dark, the third entry into Lars von Trier's Golden Heart trilogy, follows LVT's preceding two film both in being shot à la the Dane's handheld style developed during TV show The Kingdom and in their general plot of a woman who sacrifices more than most would believe conscionable. And starring in Dancer as that woman, an immigrant named Selma with diminishing eyesight who takes on extra shifts at the factory and side work to finance her son's secret surgery and slips into worlds of musical fantasy, is Björk.  At perhaps the height of her stardom (and somehow choosing to be in a relationship with TGTPTU's previously discussed avant-garde director Matthew Barney), Björk in her first major movie role had a stake in the production and her own interpretation of Selma, which caused friction on set with the notoriously controlling Danish director, but likely contributed to her winning Best Actress at Cannes and the film the Palme d'Or. That friction may have been caused by her taking on an emotionally fraught role, especially in the second half of the film as Selma faces execution for a murder she did not intend for reasons she cannot share or else risk the wellbeing of her son. The situation onset may have also not been helped by alleged events that came out during the #MeToo, which while referenced in the episode can be found more fully here: https://www.nme.com/news/music/bjork-lends-voice-metoo-campaign-detail-sexual-harassment-hands-danish-director-lars-von-trier-2150898  As to that handheld camera style, often held by LVT himself, its digital video and potentially jarring, anti-Hollywood time cuts are complimented with a second camera aesthetic reserved for the musical moments, called “100 cameras.” This technique involved using a hundred stationary DV cameras of lesser quality than the one used for handheld footage. The hope for this multitude of cameras was for them to capture a single take of a performance without different setups. These cameras were remotely operated on ten monitors hardwired with a toggle switch inside a special construction trailer hidden in the background of the shot. Alas, this hope, unrealized, for the capture of movement to allow smoother cutting than the time cuts LVT used for the handhold was not to be. Yet the hundred camera experiment would still allow for a different feel and aesthetic from the handheld footage, especially when their transfer to film used cathode ray tube (verses the sharper laser transfer for main handheld DV camera). So tune in on your home system or your crystal radio on the a.m. dial, close your eyes, and let the dulcet voices of our four hosts' song set against industrial percussion transport you up through your ceiling and into cinema heaven. Clang! Bang! Clatter, crash, clack! THEME SONG BY: WEIRD A.I.Email: thegoodthepodandtheugly@gmail.comFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/TGTPTUInstagram: https://instagram.com/thegoodthepodandtheugly?igshid=um92md09kjg0Bluesky: @mrkoral.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6mI2plrgJu-TB95bbJCW-gBuzzsprout: https://thegoodthepodandtheugly.buzzsprout.com/Letterboxd (follow us!):Ken: Ken KoralRyan: Ryan Tobias

Un Cinema fatto di sofferenza, dolore, malvagità e dove gli esseri umani sono pedine di un cosmo cinico e incomprensibile. In poche parole, il controverso mondo del famigerato artista Lars Von Trier. Chiudiamo con il buon vecchio Lars con il suo (al momento) ultimo film. "La casa di Jack" è il racconto di un artista che si sente incompreso. Un architetto che vuole solo costruire il suo capolavoro o anche solo la sua casa. E per farlo è disposto a sacrificare le vite di persone innocenti.

To kick off the new series, Louis is joined in the studio by acting legend Willem Dafoe.

Send us a textELEMENTWelcome to a new year and a new director as TGTPTU's latest 4x4 reaches its fourth of four directors: Lars Von Trier. We start with his first wide-release feature THE ELEMENT OF CRIME (1984). And so begins our wrap-up of Season 13 with water, water everywhere, but not a drop to drink…   Set in a post-catastrophe Europe (as will the Dane's next two films forming his first thematic trilogy: Europa), The Element of Crime follows the memories under hypnotism of an investigator named Fisher who employs the methodology of his now disgraced mentor, namely, the-now-clichéd-but-then-fairly-metafictionally-fresh-idea-of-following-in-a-psychopathic-criminal's-footsteps, to enter their thinking. And so begins a degeneration and headaches and sex atop the hood of a vehicle in order to track down the Lotto Killer, a serial murderer who targets young girls who sell lotto tickets and who might be closer than Fisher realizes.  Paired with next week's Dancer in the Dark (the final film of LVT's second trilogy) which will utilize an entirely different cinematic language, The Element of Crime is beautifully shot as it follows Fisher throughout the flooded landscapes of Europe lit by sodium light that create a sepia tone (and, in some cases, LVT will cheat by shooting in black-and-white and colorizing). The script originally focused on three encounters Fisher has with the fascistic police chief Kramer played by Jerold Wells, a British actor perhaps best known for his work with Terry Gilliam ending with Time Bandits (Gilliam's Brazil with its own pneumatic tube future will come out the following year), but the world was expanded as LVT and his team of two Thomas's (cinematographer Tom Elling, and editor and possible horse murderer Tómas Gislason) found new locations such as sewers and dilapidated buildings to expand Fisher's search as he finds himself inside the pattern to the killings.  Listen in and get the skinny on LVT's challenge to Steven Spielberg and masturbating monkeys from Thomas; hear about Ken's beef with a German post-punk band ruining his joke; and scream along silently with Jack in frustration about the ongoing technical issues the once-and-future provisional co-host Ryan reliably brings to being unreliable.  The host unanimously agree: a beautifully shot movie with an amazing final image.

Un Cinema fatto di sofferenza, dolore, malvagità e dove gli esseri umani sono pedine di un cosmo cinico e incomprensibile. In poche parole, il controverso mondo del famigerato artista Lars Von Trier. Chiudiamo la Trilogia del Cuore D'Oro con...un musical! Chiaramente stiamo parlando di Lars Von Trier e quindi "Dancer in the Dark" non è un racconto allegro e spensierato e la musica qui non porta avanti la trama ma piuttosto permette alla protagonista di evadere anche solo per poco da una realtà crudele e ingiusta.

Lars Von Trier's 2000 Palme d'Or winning film Dancer in the Dark. Bjork won best Female Performance at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival. One day Tanner and Matt will appreciate art. Team Bjork all the way!

Ho Ho Ho Ho-ello there!It has come upon us once again: the Christmas season. And as was aforementioned, its getting darker. We must let you know that this was not planned... or our tolerance levels are so out of whack that we've blackened our souls and have detached ourselves from societal norms...Annnnyyyywwwaaaayyyyyy, there's nothing more Christmas-sy than Lars Von Trier! And this film; starring Stellan Skarsgård and Emily Watson, in her first film role, lets us know that we're in for a rough ride for a good 2 hours and 40 mins. Thankfully, it's all set on an "unnamed Scottish Isle" where everyone's accents are all over the place, the sideburns are "pure 70s", the medical equipment looks outdated, and it's all brown. And that means we're in the past.DESCEND INTO THE DARKNESS WITH US ALL!

Join We Own the Dark as we abandon all hope and journey through the circles of hell with Episode 07! Jason possessed us with his choice of The Sentinel (1977), Michael Winner's demon-laced religious horror with a star-studded cast and all the trippy, surreal vibes we could hope for from great 70s horror. Jerry couldn't help but continue the hellscape appreciation by pairing Lars von Trier's The House that Jack Built (2018), a deep, dark, violent dive into art vs. artist, man vs. woman, engineer vs. architect…   This is the perfect double feature for anyone seeking gorgeous, deviant imagery and philosophical musings on brutality. Take a watch then take a listen and let us know what you think of the pairing! Also, head over to Rue Morgue and read Jerry's editorial on The House that Jack Built for her Beautiful Filth column!   Follow us on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/weownthedark Follow Jerry on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/thesleepermustawaken Follow Jason on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/vongodi Check out Whiskey & Horror at: https://www.whiskeyandhorror.com

The film, set in a small comminuty in the Scottish Highlands in the 1970s, tells the story of Bess McNeill, a simply, godly woman who marries outsider oil rig worker Jan. When Jan is paralyzed after a work accident, he compels Bess to take other lovers in order to "keep him alive"...a task which she steadily comes to believe has divine connotations. Shot in 35mm 'scope with the great Robby Muller behind the camera, the film is a visually staggering work broaching difficult subject matter in the realms of faith, sexuality, and patriarchy all rendered in Von Trier's singular tenor, equal parts brutal, earnest, and cheekily playful.We discuss the career of Von Trier, his work as a founding member of the Dogme95 collective, and the later period evolution of his storytelling. Then, we wrestle with the film's themes and execution of its ideas. Does the movie hold up for a longtime devotee and a newcomer alike? Finally, we try to make sense of Von Trier's oeuvre, and what - if anything - could be considered the trademarks of his style.Follow Liam Billingham on Twitter.Listen and subscribe to Die Hard On A Blank Podcast.Read & Subscribe to Peter Raleigh's Newsletter 'Long Library'. ....Our theme song is "Mirror" by Chris Fish

Send us a Text Message.Was it really that bad?  It's something you might ask yourself after a negative experience, when facing regret or to seek closure.  You might ask the same question after watching a traumatizing or really bad movie.  It's also our new theme for this round.Touching on pretty much all of those points, we have the 2009 Lars Von Trier film Antichrist.  Starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, this film takes viewers on an incredibly uplifting journey of a couple working through their grief and pain after a tragic loss. Amidst their time in a picturesque cabin in the woods, they confront deep emotional and psychological challenges, which ultimately leads them to face their inner demons.  There is also a talking fox.Sorry, just kidding.  Watching this film is a traumatic experience without any worthwhile payoff, despite having a good discussion afterward and we apologize in advance if you watch along with us.There really is a talking fox though.

Put your shoes on the wrong feet, grab your scissors, and join us at a cabin in the fearsome woods to chat about therapy, sex, and acorns in Lars Von Trier's Antichrist.

The podcast gets slightly elevated as we bring on two guests, Jeffery Owens and Krysta Curry, to discuss Lars Von Trier's controversial movie "Antichrist". We cap off our "self-destruction" block of movies with this one, or we smash it in the dick with a log of wood, depending how you look at it. This movie is notable for being one open to wide and various interpretations, so we really dig into the soil of the dark forest this movie resides within to determine what exactly Von Trier is trying to tell us with it. One thing we can say for certain: Chaos does indeed reign. The featured band for this episode is Arizona's doom wizard's Goya with the track "Satan's Fire".
