A film with an exciting construction, alternating sequences in 16mm with a lot of grain where we see Lars Von Trier and his screenwriter Niels Vørsel in their own roles trying to write a scenario called 'Epidemic', and sequences in 35mm where we see scenes from the film in question. Vertiginous mise-en-abyme and very interesting reflection on artistic creation and the way in which it influences real life. Not for everybody surely, but powerful stuff when you can get into it.
The 16mm sequences with Lars and his screenwriter are really cool and fun, it's a nice life they have there, but you get that what is making it interesting is precisely this dark project about a lethal pandemic they are working on, so it's ambiguous and complex.
