Shock & Awe - Lars von Trier Box (ej svensk text) (Blu-ray)

By turns profoundly moving, viscerally shocking, intellectually resonant and surprisingly funny, this collection of four films by Lars Von Trier contains a selection of some of the most dazzling, daring and devilish works of cinematic art from one of the world’s foremost maverick directors... BREAKING THE WAVES (1996) A moving and uplifting but brutal assessment of love, faith, social pressure and human dignity, Breaking the Waves earned an Academy Award® nomination for Emily Watson in her breakthrough role and demonstrated to the world the power of Lars von Trier's filmmaking ability. ANTICHRIST (2009) A grieving couple retreat to ’Eden’, their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse… MELANCHOLIA (2011) As Justine (Kirsten Dunst) arrives for her wedding reception in her sister's mansion home, her big day resurfaces a battle against her own inner demons. Whilst at the same time Earth is threatened by an imminent collision with Planet Melancholia – whose presence becomes increasingly ominous as the film moves towards its truly spectacular finale. NYMPHOMANIAC (2013) Lars von Trier's bold, brilliant and controversial new film tells the story of Joe (played by Charlotte Gainsbourg & newcomer Stacy Martin), a self-diagnosed nymphomaniac, from birth to the age of 50.
