The works of one of world cinema’s most renowned and daring provocateurs, Lars von Trier, will be making a comeback to the big screen this summer with a new retrospective entitled Enduring Provocations.
Enduring Provocations looks back on his controversial career, having courted ardent fans and enemies in equal measure during his nearly four decades as a director.
Known for his restless technical innovation and rebellious approach to the genre, von Trier has confronted the taboo subjects of the day and the eternal existential problems of the human condition with the same thorny, troubled intelligence and puckish humour.
Enduring Provocations will allow audiences across the UK to revisit some of the director’s most incendiary works on the big screen, many of them remastered. The season asks whether his cinema of narcissism and self-abasement still has the power to get under our skin. Is it the on-screen violence that is hard to stomach, or those troubling questions his films ask about human suffering, morality and the disorders of society?
The retrospective will launch in select cinemas on 4 August with the newly remastered Breaking the Waves in 4K.
