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. Influenced equally by Hitchcock and science fiction, von Trier (EUROPA, BREAKING THE WAVES, THE IDIOTS) boldly reinvents expressionist style for his own cinematic vision of a post-apocalyptic world. 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.
Starring Michael Elphick, Esmond Knight, Me Me Lai, Jerold Wells, Ahmed El Shenawi, Janos Hersko, Stig Larsson, Harry Harper, Roman Moszkowicz, Lars von Trier
It's a crime and mystery movie, and has a rating of 6.7 out of 10 from Imdb which is usually fine for this kind of movie.
