Where to Watch Epidemic
- cultfilmlikerJune 2, 2026“We all fall down.” Rat kings and the dark backstories of nursery rhymes? Where was this when I was 14??? (I probably wouldn’t have watched it bc the majority isn’t in English but still) Seems to be the most hated von Trier film but hey it was a hit for me! Meta and evergreen topic! It’s an age old cautionary tale Lars is not a good actor in this Yeah, I’d be worried too if I was financing this!! Incredible credits song. Half a star bump Added to The Non-English Niche
