Character Posters For Lars von Trier's "The House That Jack Built"

"The House That Jack Built" is written and directed by Lars von Trier (Antichrist, Melancholia) and stars Matt Dillon, Bruno Ganz, Uma Thurman, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Sofie Grabol, Jeremy Davies, Ji-tae Yu, and Riley Keough. The film made its world debut at this year's Cannes Festival. Check out the character posters just released for what Trier warns is his most brutal effort to date  (And Antichrist was pretty brutal).







The House That Jack Built takes place in 1970s USA. We follow the highly intelligent Jack through 5 incidents and are introduced to the murders that define Jack’s development as a serial killer. We experience the story from Jack’s point of view. He views each murder as an artwork in itself, even though his dysfunction gives him problems in the outside world. Despite the fact that the final and inevitable police intervention is drawing ever near (which both provokes and puts pressure on Jack) he is – contrary to all logic – set on taking greater and greater chances. Along the way we experience Jack’s descriptions of his personal condition, problems and thoughts through a recurring conversation with the unknown Verge – a grotesque mixture of sophistry mixed with an almost childlike self-pity and in-depth explanations of, for Jack, dangerous and difficult maneuvers.
