Lars Von Trier's new movie causes mass walkouts at Cannes Film Festival
Everyone knows Lars Von Trier as one of those directors who puts out some proper graphic and depraved films - Nymphomanic for example. But his latest movie is about as fucked up as it gets.
The House That Jack Built stars Matt Dillon as a serial killer who goes around mutilating his victims, who are mainly women. One fucked-up scene apparently sees Dillon shooting two kids in the head with a hunting rifle. Viewers who watched the film at the Cannes Film Festival were so distressed that half the audience ended people walking out.
Check out the trailer:
To be fair, I get why those people walked out during the screening. I don't think I could take this movie. It looks like one of those ones that will creep into my day-to-day thoughts and make me really depressed about humanity. I might just stick with a good'ol Pixar film.
