Felicia is joined by The Davids Podcast to discuss Lars von Trier’s take on male aggression, in The House That Jack Built (2018).

We chat about the nuisance of supporting the work of an artist whose personal ideals we may not agree with. Along with the way Trier is reflecting on his life through the character of Jack.
