ABOUT THE BOOK
Lars von Trier is a respected name
in the world of international motion pictures, but also a name that
makes some people blow their tops.
His name is associated with movies
that have been met by standing ovations and virtual walk-outs in
equal measure. Regardless of the reaction one might have to his
name, everyone has an opinion about Lars von Trier, the movie-maker
and the man.
Known for his many phobias, his auto
camper and his almost ritualistic provocations, Lars von Trier is
the most infamous artist in Denmark. In the larger world he enjoys
admiration and is considered an original film-maker. In Denmark he
is notorious for being a professional neurotic. According to the
man himself, he is the world's best movie director.
For the first time Lars von Trier
talks about himself in detail, speaking about his anxiety, his
films and his private thoughts. For almost a year, journalist Nils
Thorsen followed the film-maker, interviewing him, his friends, his
relatives and colleagues.
This is probably the closest anyone
will ever get to him.
