He Seems Particularly Interested In The Lars von Trier Clauses.

A former child actor Lars von Trier was raised in a kind of bonkers nudist family. 

For his entire life he thought his father was a Jewish man. On her deathbed his Communist mother revealed that she'd deliberately cheated on her husband with a scion of a German artistic family. Specifically so her son would have artistic genes. A backyard attempt at that infamous Nazi pseudoscience of Eugenics.

Something which I suspect was on his mind when he was declared persona non grata by the Cannes Film Festival. After announcing that he'd decided he was a Nazi, having spent his whole life thinking he was a Jew.

"Nymphomaniac" (2013) seems to be the retaliation for that controversy, a defence of the freedom to offend.

Although we've got a long way to go before we get to there. 

The conflict between the subjective Expressionism of "Metropolis" and Brutalism's obsession with objective Realism, ugly assed concrete must be ugly assed concrete, possibly being a further clue that Freder fanboys completely missed the point of the movie.

That's the sort of narrative that's more difficult to corral than others.
