Summary

Without question, Lars von Trier is the most intriguing film director to emerge in Denmark since the days of his great mentor in spirit Carl Theodor Dreyer. A relentless visionary von Trier (b. 1956) has succeeded not only in realizing his projects but also in managing to gather substantial audiences for his films. Breaking the Waves (1996) made him a well-known figure to international audiences, as did Dancer in the Dark (2000), winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. With six entries at Cannes thus far, Lars von Trier has been an award winner four times. The conversations in this collection trace his development from the structured, image-obsessed formalist of The Element of Crime (1984) and Europa (U.S. title Zentropa, 1991) to the control-shunning game master of the 1990s. Most of these interviews, two previously unpublished, are translated into English for the first time. They begin in 1968, when von Trier was the lead actor in a children's TV series, and end in 2001, as he is.

Preparing the film Dogville. They reveal him to be impish, forthright, witty, sometimes infuriating, and deeply committed to the possibilities of cinema. Book jacket.
