Crime as a Search for the Transcendental
https://doi.org/10.69975/2074-0832-2024-61-3-89-96
Abstract
The article examines crime as a challenge to the transcendent, i.e. the divine, in an attempt to establish contact with it. The author proposes to regard “The House that Jack Built” by Lars von Trier in terms of the correlation between the concepts of “sin” and “crime” and to look upon the protagonist’s misdeeds as the proof of not only arrogance, but also the desire to engage in a dialogue with the divine.
