Watch The Trailer For The 'Vile' Lars von Trier Film That Over 100 People Walked Out On At Cannes!

The House That Jack Built couldn’t exactly hold the house at the Cannes Film Festival.
Over 100 people walked out of the premiere of Lars von Trier‘s psychological thriller during the screening on Monday, with many citing its “disgusting” and “torturous” content.
The film stars Matt Dillon as a serial killer honing his craft over the course of 12 murders and, to many critics’ alarm, depicts the mutilation of women and children.

Adding insult to torture, the festival had just lifted the ban on the controversial director — which was implemented in 2011 after he joked that he sympathized with Hitler — so he could screen this new film.
The Cannes program included a warning that appeared next to the film’s schedule times, which read: “Certain scenes are likely to offend the sensitivity of the spectators.”
And offended they were! Ch-ch-check out the NSFW-ish trailer (above) and see the outraged responses, along with a few messages of support (below)!

I’ve just walked out of #LarsVonTrier premiere at #Cannes2018 because seeing children being shot and killed is not art or entertainment

Gross. Pretentious. Vomitive. Torturous. Pathetic. #Cannes2018

Not surprised. Lars has gone too far this time. Guess he will be banned again lol.
Btw, if this is true, this is heavily hypocritical of Uma Thurman. https://t.co/eaq6rVm5ku

not to defend him but nightmarish depictions of abuse and misogyny are pretty much his entire schtick.
