Film Details

The Cinematheque returns to the Capitol Theatre to present “hands down the funniest film of the year (The Village Voice). It’s a twisted comedy from Lars von Trier’s always edgy Zentropa Productions—about a man who “kidnaps” his pregnant girlfriend’s 12-year-old nephew and then, to prove what a good parent he would be, takes him on a canoe trip—with his sex-crazed buddy. The pastoral outing soon turns into a weekend of debauchery and disaster! “Plays like a superior, and way grosser, version of The Hangover.” –The Village Voice. “Rather sweet, in its raunchy way…Manages the difficult trick of going into taboo territory without ever feeling dirty.” –The NY Times. Adults only! Cleveland theatrical premiere. Subtitles.
