The IdiotsNC
Lars von Trier Season
114 mins – Denmark / France / Netherlands / Germany / Sweden / Italy 1998 – Subtitles – Dir: Lars von Trier
Starring: Bodil Jorgensen, Jens Albinus and Anne Louise Hassing
This is the strikingly original and thought-provoking film about a group of people who confront and subvert the norms and conventions of middle-class society by exploring and releasing their ‘inner idiot’.
Following her encounter with the group, a lonely drifter accidentally finds herself involved with ‘the idiots’. Although initially resistant to their excessive and seemingly inappropriate behaviour, she soon begins to find sympathy and, after participating in their subversive acts, is comforted by their sense of joy and uninhabited exuberance.
There will be a video introduction from director Ari Aster (HEREDITARY, MIDSOMMAR) preceding both BREAKING THE WAVES and THE IDIOTS. The filmmaker shares his thoughts on the Danish provocateur and the films in question.
Viewer Discretion Advised: THE IDIOTS features scenes of a strong sexual nature.
ENDURING PROVOCATIONS: THE FILMS OF LARS VON TRIER
Provocator. Prankster. Artist.
‘Enduring Provocations’ looks back on the controversial career of Lars von Trier, having courted ardent fans and enemies in equal measure during his nearly four decades as a director.

Consistently intriguing, involving, and finally quite unlike anything else.
