The Element of Crime

Forbrydelsens element (original)

Lars von Trier’s stunning debut film is the story of Fisher, an exiled ex-cop who returns to his old beat to catch a serial killer with a taste for young girls.

Shot in shades of sepia, with occasional, startling flashes of bright blue, THE ELEMENT OF CRIME (FORBRYDELSENS ELEMENT) combines dark mystery and operatic sweep to yield a pure celluloid nightmare.
