it is pretty well received here though, Angst is better imo and Henry comes close
Lars is a hack. An emotionally stunted man who just spews his miserableness on screen.
>b-but that’s what good art is!
Not really. His movies are just disjointed scenes that express “I’m sad” and that’s it. He doesn’t have the intelligence to dissect those feelings in an interesting or compelling way, and basically just makes pretentious gross out/splatter movies.
>just makes pretentious gross out/splatter movies
those are just the ones you watch because you have infantile taste and then you misinterpret them because they're not actually about that
>it’s 2deep4u!
No, Lars just has unresolved mommy issues and just screams in impotent rage through his films as a coping mechanism. If he was able to convert those emotions into a work of art it would be interesting, but he’s not. Being excessively miserable is not compelling or interesting, it’s just the mirror version of a schmaltzy romcom.
my interpretation of his work is based on the two films of his I liked the most: Dancer in the Dark and especially Breaking the Waves.
They're about these odd and positive women, who you as the audience and the characters in the film look down on somewhat, they're weird, embarrassing, fricked up, naive, giddy, and don't mesh with the world, but the film slowly explores their goodness and ultimately, their saintliness, and then you and the characters in the film, are left reconsidering how you thought of them and what is good.
These are deeply, deeply humanist films, designed to cast doubt on the audiences own ideas about people.
The House that Jack Built is the same, except without the humanist character. Lars is trying to make the audience question their own association with the serial killer, though black comedy and perspective and thriller-tropes.
I think people mis-interpret Lar's films for the very same reason why he makes them, they have a broad disinterest in connecting with beutiful innocent and humanist characters and ideas, and refuse to engage in self-reflection and criticism over their own evilness. Lars makes edgy films to lash out at that disconnect and they must be viewed in the context of his grand displays of humanist and spiritual beauty.
Europa is a splatter movie?
I can't decide who's more of a hack, him or Haneke
they have similiar intentions. Both want to trick the audience and then have them re-examine what they thought and whether they are truly moral
Lars has a sense of humor and is a humanist though. Haneke is a kinographer but has a very bleak outlook.
Imagine typing all this gay shit and then accuse someone else of being pretentious lmao. Nice meme psychology too. You're really intelligent.
I’m at least able to articulate my opinion is a clear way while you’re just shitposting. You yourself are proving my point with a post like this.
His movies are pretentious and gimmicky gore films that appeal to 18-22 year old pretentious boys and sad girls. It’s for people who are just getting into movies as an art form and see the bizarre scenes accompined by classical music and with this miserable atmosphere and think “whoa, now this is like a really deep movie!”
It’s boring and unimaginative schlock that just ticks off boxes just as much as a marvel movie does
Hit the road, Jack
They hated him because he told them the truth
you are just sad that you can't enjoy a movie without trying to write a book about it.
you directly went to insult the director without saying anything about the movie itself.
consider posting on reddit because thats more of your speed wienersucka
You and Cinemaphile didn't understand it.
It's good but calling it the top SK movie is a fuuuuuuucking stretch
What else then?
A very mediocre movie but a chance to become cult classic amongst the pseudo-intellects.
Sounds shitty to me
imdb etc doesn't work for genre films.
too many people hate them just when they are or aren't jump scares or for being offensive/edgy in the wrong way.
Kill List had like a 5 for a while on imdb
The scene where he's at the door of that woman's house is probably the funniest scene on film. I laughed like a moron at
>I would like to see a badge
>...so would I
Works great as a comedy
the start of it is a comedy
the idea of a serial killer having ocd and having to go back to clean the house and risking being caught is hilarious
It scared women because it brushed aside all the societal cope that tries obfuscate the very real, ever present constraint that they are inferior at any moment in time and that they existence is wholly contingent on men's will
Because the director is an unironic nazi sympathizer.
and that's a good thing, homosexual
people like this movie here
wtf I love Lars now
>IM KINO
how did the film poster know
We had gazillion threads about it on release Black
