Udo Kier,"EPIDEMIC is among Von Trier’s better and most revealing movies—giving full vent to his obsessions with cinematic purity, behavioral acting, Udo Kier, hospitals, and, most spectacularly, the notion of cinema as hypnosis.” The Village Voice, New York.,1988 - Nominated - International Fantasy Film Award - Best Film,In the third and final film in his E-Trilogy, from controversial director Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dogville, Dancer in the Dark) comes the bizarre story of a director (played by von Trier himself) and a writer who create a script about a mysterious plague that engulfs Europe, only to find their horrific scenario coming true in real life. Featuring Udo Kier (Andy Warhol's Frankenstein, Suspiria, Armageddon), EPIDEMIC is a dark and original horror film with a twist: Is the epidemic real, or is it only a dark figment of von Trier's imagination?
