Watch in release order. The provocations shift, but the handheld confession style carries through. Dancer in the Dark won the Palme d'Or with Bjork leading.

Good to know

Each film stands alone, so no chronological order exists. Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, Antichrist and Melancholia make the clearest core. The Kingdom hospital series runs on television outside this film list. No next feature had been dated as of October 2026, with the 2018 film the latest.
