S#X Acts 2012 is trying to beat Lars Von Trier at ultra-cinematic cringe

Six Acts ( or S#x Acts ) is an erotic drama horror film about a girl who is slowly realizing that she is being abused. The film feels strangely like the seduction scene in Taxi Driver but stretched out into 6 chapters, filling up a feature length movie.

Knock Knock 2015 is more of a Lars Von Trier movie

Before there was 2025 Balerina there were two other movies ( I know of ) which were collaborations of Keanu Reeves and Ana de Armas. One is the 2016 film Exposed which I am still yet to see. And then, before that, marking their first collaboration, there was a 2015 film by Eli Roth called Knock Knock, which I was curious to see for multiple reasons.

I don't think you think of Science Fiction often when thinking about Lars Von Trier. Yet, his 2011 masterpiece Melancholia is one of, if not the best, science fiction film(s) ever.

Is Lars Von Trier Really an Edge Lord?

There is a certain sense among cinephiles that the danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier is nothing but an edge lord, making his films simply as a sort of pornography designed to outrage people. It does not help his case that his films are some of the hardest films to watch. And it doesn't help that his movies tend to touch upon uncomfortable things in very uncomfortable ways. Yet I don't believe Lars Von Trier does any of that for laughs.
