		Epidemic is a 1987 film directed by Lars von Trier.

		EPIDEMIC is an example of the surprising variety von Trier’s minimalist approach can bring to the screen.
		A film about an epidemic is being made.
		Reflecting on his film school experience in Denmark, von Trier later wrote, "I had an almost fetishistic attraction to film technology.

		Epidemic is a Mesmerizing & Ominous Film from Lars von Trier.
		Epidemic, shot in fl-and-white 16mm and 35mm film, is one of von Trier’s most hypnotic and ominous that grabs you unexpectedly towards the end.
		While Epidemic may be the weakest of the three films in the Europa trilogy with The Element of Crime and Europa, it still shares its same themes of paranoia and bleak outlook on European society.

	Epidemic
		Originally, Epidemic was to be another collaboration between von Trier, Elling and Gislason, but they dropped out when it became apparent that this was no collective effort but would be very much a Lars von Trier film.
		It is not only a film that reflects itself but also a film that mocks itself.
		Epidemic, filmed mostly in fl & white, features primarily the director himself, his screenwriter and their private cohorts, while a handful of professional actors are seen in sharply etched cameos.

	Process of Making a Historical Film: Preproduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The film I imagined would begin as a documentary (with the twentieth century historian and the eighteenth century diary) and evolve into a drama as Ulrich gradually figured out what happened in Martha Ballard's world.
		Laurel's arc (in blue) is dominant at the beginning of the film, and Martha's arc (in red) takes over at the point where the two women connect emotionally in the epidemic scene (the climax of Act I).
		We then decided which scenes had to be axed (because their function in the film did not justify their expense) and which scenes could be rewritten to accommodate locations we would be working in.

		While it is Hollywood summer fluff, this film about the potential end of the world due to an asteroid hit raises interesting questions about the depiction of mass death, especially with its spectacular and beautiful visual effects.
		Classic film in which a journalist attempts to understand a man's life by finding the meaning of the man's dying words.
		Great ending in which he watches a film of his own murder as a means of realizing he too is a zombie.

	Lars Von Triers Europe Trilogy: Element Of Crime / Epidemic / Europa - DVD Review: Digital Lard (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The film is shot with an orange tinge, that looks so fantastic that you as a viewer soon find yourself hypnotised by what you are watching, in much the same way as Elphick is when he is recounting the story we are watching.
		The film is mainly shot on 16MM in fl and white (and according to the accompanying commentary) by Von Trier and Vorsel, who it appears created virtually everything themselves, and has the gimmick of ‘Epidemic’ being written on the top left corner of the film throughout.
		EPIDEMIC was previously unreleased in the UK and provides the chance to see a personal Von Trier film starring himself and his closest working companion Niels Vorsel, his co-writer on all the films in this box set.

		A film director and a screenwriter work on a screenplay in witch an epidemic spreads through the entire world.
		Lars von Trier is without a doubt the director who has contributed most to the renewal of Danish Film and he has had a great impact on the new 1990´s generation, not least because of his central role in Dogme 95.
		His earliest short films were stylistically inventive explorations of themes and symbols, which would later play a central role in his feature films and Von Trier developed a mode of cinematic expression that was heavily symbolic and emotion laden.

		EPIDEMIC AFRICA was filmed in 1999 as part of the White House Office on National AIDS Policy's delegation to several sub-Saharan African nations.
		EPIDEMIC AFRICA encourages support for programs which are designed to help people cope with AIDS in their family and community.
		After the screening, Senator Leahy announced that the film had spurred him to add an additional $25,000,000 to the 1999 budget for AIDS support in Africa (a total of $100,000,000 was ultimately committed to fight AIDS in Africa).

	2003 Toronto International Film Festival
		Greenaway said that the films were to be released in a 92 dvd set and gave an interesting introduction to the film calling it “arrogant and deeply immodest,” I would have stayed for QandA after the film but had to rush off across town to see Zatoichi.
		Two films came to mind while I was watching Hour of the Wolf, the first was Lost Highway which has a similar nightmare logic and uses darkness similarly and the other was Bergman’s masterpiece Shame which the film echoes in its level of post-apocalyptic doom.
		A very immature film (the director looked like he was 14 years old), with hip and violent plots intersecting in unpredictable, playful and stupidly contrived ways: this is another film where every character seems to be tied to one another by the cosmic coincidences of fate.

		Produced during the SARS epidemic, the film was financed with Korean capital and had a limited run in Seoul earlier this year.
		Once again the film is a Sino-Korean co-production and the story focuses on a single mother of Korean ethnicity making her living by selling kimchi on the streets of a small town in Northern China.
		The formal pattern of the film follows the rules of Tang poems that prescribe verses of only seven or five characters; this is mirrored by the pattern of use of the three different location in the film.

	Lars von Trier
		Although his films are a complex dialogic extension of his own paradoxical nature, in general they follow the trajectory of T.S. Eliot, first depicting the wasteland and then transcending it with faith.
		His second film Epidemic (1987) is not available in the U.S. and this is a shame because it is a brilliant and beautiful film.
		In Epidemic we see the director's two distinct styles; on the one hand there are the breathtakingly composed shots for the film within the film, yet also present are the hand-held cameras, natural light and a five-day improvised script for the story about the writers.

		Anyways the basic plot of this film is that two screenwriters lose their original script they were going to sell and so must start over so they write a new script titled Epidemic about a doctor who goes to help a country but ends up spreading an epidemic.
		We learn that von Trier felt that a film titled Epidemic had to be a hit so thats how the title came about.
		If you are a von Trier fan then the commentary is a must and the film is good enough on its own also their is a special feature on the DVD where wim wenders, von trier and some other film makers have a phone discussion its pretty interesting.

		(Epidemic is NOT a Dogme film) Lars von Triers wrote the vows and is obviously instrumental to many fellow filmmakers' inspiration in their work over the past decade.
		Taking a journey down the road to understanding art films is as equally challenging as lifting the fog on who to vote for in a presidential election.
		The thing about Epidemic is that with all it's style, technique, and attempt at delivering some kind of message, something falls flat for me. I do appreciate the different uses of light, camera handling, composition, the type of film used, and all the other tricks of the trade that von Trier tosses in the mix.
