7/10
Mr. Sophistication
2 January 2019
In the 70´s, the serial-killer Jack (Matt Dillon) is having a conversation with the mysterious Verge (Bruno Ganz) about his murders. Jack, who has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and the nickname "Mr. Sophistication", randomly reports five incidents to show Verge that his murders are artwork. However Verge tells that love is missing in his works to be art. Meanwhile Jack builds and demolishes the house searching for the correct material.

"The House That Jack Built' is a creepy story of a serial-killer by Lars von Triers. Matt Dillon is perfectly cast in the role of a serial-killer that needs to clean the crime scene since he has OCD. There some questions without answer but in general it is a good film. My vote is seven.

Title (Brazil):"A Casa que Jack Construiu" ("The House That Jack Built")
