Epidemic (1987)

This year really seems like it’s gonna be a von Trier kinda year. Sad and cruel with a warped sense of humor. That’s why we’re gonna be discussing Lars von Trier movies about once a month all year long. Twelve of these movies with the last one being about a serial killer. That will be perfect for Christmastime but it is the end of February right now and we’re halfway through the Europe Trilogy with 1987’s “EPIDEMIC” It does have an epidemic occurring within it but it’s also an epidemic movie that is being written within the movie and it stars von Trier and his co-writer Niels Vørsel. They can’t remember that they wrote the previous movie we discussed so they write and pandemic movie and the lead character in “Epidemic” is also the carrier of the epidemic but you know that ahead of time. Also, there is an epidemic.  There are moments of tedious horror but this is very much more of a comedy. And that song. You’ll hear it if you hit this up. These will get drearier as we go further.
