"Even if Von Trier never made another movie, viewers would still watch and admire this debut." — The Onion A.V. Club
Lars von Trier reinvented the crime thriller with this visual dazzler, melding Stanley Kubrick's psychodramas and the carnival nightmares of David Lynch, about a detective who plumbs into the mind of an elusive killer, and finds his own sanity unraveling in the process. Under hypnosis, Detective Fisher (Michael Elphick) recounts a bizarre murder case and an affair with a woman (Me Me Lai) closely linked to the investigation, as the clues of his memories lead him towards a shocking discovery.
