Plot

A serial killer recounts his crimes.

Sinekatalog’s take

Lars von Trier's serial-killer 'art' film is a provocative, grim and intentionally offensive provocation. Matt Dillon is chilling, and the film is hard to watch, but it is clearly a deliberate, self-implicating confession.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
