DTSTART:20261107T193000Z
DESCRIPTION:Lars von Trier | 1984 | Denmark | 104’ | English\n\nThe now rar
	ely screened Europa trilogy was a major breakthrough for cult Danish\ndire
	ctor Lars von Trier. It moves between expressionism\, surrealism\, and\nav
	ant-garde formalism\; the trilogy constructs a dreamlike\, often nightmari
	sh\nvision of a continent haunted by its own history. Those films portray 
	the\nEuropean continent as an entity that lacks coherent cultural identity
	 and is\nbuilt on unresolved generational traumas as well as obsolete ideo
	logies.\n\nThe Element of Crime\, the first part of this triptych of movin
	g images\, could be\ndescribed as an experimental neo-noir crime film. It 
	follows the story of a\ndetective who decides to take on his final case in
	 order to attempt to catch a\nserial killer. He leans towards an unconvent
	ional method of hypnosis to help him\nsolve the dilemma. Oneirical narrati
	on and long takes make this film a\none-of-a-kind flick.\n\nThis screening
	 is a part of our programme dedicated to Lars von Trier’s Europa\ntrilogy.
