Metrograph is pleased to announce the run of THE IDIOTS,
starting JUNE 16.

Lars von Trier’s only feature made under the Dogme 95 “Vows of Chastity”, The Idiots centers on a Danish commune whose members aim to disrupt bourgeois society by spontaneously feigning physical or mental disabilities in public – including a new recruit (Bodil Jørgensen) motivated by a secret sorrow. Previously censored upon release, this darkly comic and ultimately devastating film is now presented restored and uncut, as a highly provocative work which contemplates the very value of provocation.

 

 A MUBI release. 

The Idiots has been remastered in 4K by Zentropa Post Production.
