The Element of Crime (1984)

Fisher, an ex-detective, decides to take one final case when a mysterious serial killer claims the lives of several young girls. Fisher, unable to find the culprit, turns to Osbourne, a writer who was once respected for his contributions to the field of criminology. Fisher begins to use Osbourne's technique, which involves empathizing with serial killers; however, as the detective becomes increasingly engrossed in this method, things take a disturbing turn.

Fantastic. Lars von Trier is a master filmmaker.

A reviewer below called this "challenging", and I have to admit that perfectly sums up The Element of Crime. Frequently incomprehensible, playing coy with a surreal universe mired in dystopian overtones, as seen through the eyes of an unreliable narrator. The visual style is absolutely stifling with tinted duotone, overly dark, murky, dream-like. It's a hard film to recommend, but at the same time it is worth seeing. Really, about an hour and twenty minutes of the run time feels like important preamble. It is setting up the dominoes to watch them fall. And if the falling had felt more impressive, less predictable, then this would doubtlessly rate higher.
