Lars von TrierPlots(1)
Lars von Trier's second film introduces many of the elements typical for his later productions. It presents the story of two young filmmakers who are pushed to come up with a new story concerning plague spreading across Europe - which starts leaking from the realm of fiction into reality. Epidemic is an originally rendered Kafkaesque story - plus it is an extremely hard-to-access title in the filmography of the idiomatic director. (Summer Film School)
