Cannes website says it's 2 hrs. 35 min. Should be the most easy breezy watch of the year. Castration, DP, and staring off into space!

From IndieWire: I'm so morbidly curious to see what this turns out like. Can't wait for the tweets after this screens.

The House That Jack Built ... the title keeps reminding me of This Is Us.

I can't stand Von Trier - really have only like The Kingdom - and much of his work I flat out hate............. and even I think this is potentially great

Ok, everybody knows I'm no fan of Lars Von Trier (at all), but the trailer seems to draw obvious parallels between Jack and himself (the dark impulse to create Art, the Heaven/Hell connection/dichotomy, when he overtly thinks of "all the things he's done in his life", i.e. that could be Von Trier's filmography).
Usually Von Trier implicates the audiences or holds something up for them, which I'm sure will be here, but that's somewhat surprising to me at least that maybe here he's implicating himself.......

Great interpretation. You can also add that the scene where Jack looks at the blood trail that could incriminate him, and then the rain washes it away, could parallel things like his career managing to weather the controversy Lars himself stirs up (i.e. his Hitler comments at Cannes which turn him persona non grata, then Dunst wins Best Actress a week later and Lars himself is welcomed back to the festival a few years later).

I am SO here for this one. Love the rain washing blood metaphor and the voice-over.

Apparently, there were a lot of walkouts from the premiere. Get hype.

The first batch of tweets after this screening is over is one of my most anticipated film events of the year, tbh.

Wait, so you're telling me people walked into a Lars von Trier movie and were surprised that it was about despicable people performing acts of violence and sexual aggression so extreme that even Freud would say the dude's got issues? He did tell us in advance that this movie "celebrates the idea that life is evil and soulless."
As someone who has never been a fan of von Trier (Melancholia aside), all the buzz around this film does is makes me even more concerned for the guy's mental health than I already was since he relapsed. I hope at some point he may be able to find some peace in his life.

Is it just me or was that trailer very very very darkly hilarious?

Oh Lars, you devil. Again with your shenanigans, cutting off breasts, mutilating children and animals, and prolonged discussions about art! It's so weird to NOT feel any kind of surprise or shock after reading what's in this movie - with any other filmmaker it might've been a surprise but coming from Lars in the context of this particular project...it's pretty much expected? I would've been more shocked if the reports said that there's no violence in the movie at all Like, based on the reactions the new Gaspar Noe movie is kinda restrained in terms of provocative content for him, and that is much more surprising to me.

Oh for fucks sake...what were people expecting here. I'm not sticking up for the film at all, as I haven't seen it, so why on earth would I do that, but I find people walking out of films so tiresome and laughable; almost as tiresome as people booing a film at the end, but nothing is as ridiculous as that, not even people giving films 5 or 10 minute standing ovations. Just sit down and watch the film, cause if you don't finish the damn thing, then your opinion on it is worth less than nothing. This is all so very Cannes
