British distributors Curzon Artificial Eye have confirmed to us, and asked us to pass along the information to the community, that their upcoming Blu-ray release of acclaimed dierctor Lars von Trier's latest film, The House That Jack Built (2018), will feature the longer original version of it that was screened at the Cannes Film Festival. Currently, the Blu-ray release is scheduled to arrive on the market on March 4.
The distributors have also confirmed that they will not be releasing the R-rated version of the film on any format.
The film will open in cinemas across the United Kingdom and Ireland on December 14. Special event with Lars von Trier and Q&A session are scheduled for December 12.
Synopsis: Lars von Trier returns to the director's chair to present the world with his most daring and provocative work to date, The House That Jack Built. This time the topic of discussion is violence and art, and violence as art.
In a mesmerising career best, Matt Dillon plays failed architect turned serial killer Jack who leads us through his thought processes behind his increasingly more depraved acts of murder which he names "incidents". As he retells his crimes to Verge (Bruno Ganz) as if they were all individual works of art in themselves, the audience is invited to question the nature of artistry, where its limits lie and when is far too far? And with pitch black humour and undeniable cinematic vision, von Trier delights in taking us there.
As Jack says, "The greatest cathedrals have sublime artwork hidden in the darkest of corners for only God to see."
