  • Get into the creative mind of film director Lars von Trier and learn how reading in his world is connected with writing. Trier calls literature his “basic medium” and reveals his inspiration from writers as Thomas Mann, Leo Tolstoy, and Marcel Proust. He refers to dramaturgy as his “toothache” connected to his reading of Donald Duck, but writing is “the greatest kick you can get,” he says.
    Even though dramaturgy has been difficult for Lars von Trier, he experiences joy when writing the manuscripts for his films: “The greatest thing is when you let it go, like when you levitate in meditation. You do that sometimes when you’re writing. Then you write fabulously and you experience a high,” he says. “I hope I’ll manage to make a movie intuitively. But I’m stuck in the mire. The mire of dramaturgy.”
    Lars von Trier is a passionate reader: “What I love about literature is that one man decides. It’s a dictatorship.” When writing ‘Joseph and his Brothers’ Thomas Mann had an obstacle: “It says so in the Bible” and having obstacles when writing and making films are important, Trier feels. “Andrej Tarkovskij made his very best movies in the Soviet Union because he was in this strange oppressed situation”. “Apparently, you need to have a chain around your neck, somehow. It’s like athletes who make things difficult for themselves or circus performers who do something and so becomes a reward for themselves,” Trier says.
    “Henrik Ibsen almost reinvented dramaturgy and made it more efficient”, but “the problem is that things become clichés because they then just become part of the development of cultural history,” Lars von Trier says preferring August Strindberg. Strindberg “was wonderfully crazy and so creates things that are completely unforeseen, I’m sure Strindberg will live much longer than Ibsen,” Trier states.
    “The reason why the novel is so good is that you have a friend in your hand: The writer who wants to tell a story,” Trier says. “The funniest thing is to tease and not reach a conclusion. The problem is I’m too conscious of it. I contemplate too much.” “First of all, I’m convinced that provocations are very important - particularly in a democracy. political correctness is the most dangerous thing imaginable because no one questions anything. Then everything stops.”
    Looking back at his work Lars von Trier states: “I wouldn’t say that I’ve changed anything, but I’ve tried to create a genre that is a blend of naturalism and surrealism, you might say.” “When you’re walking somewhere on Earth, something catches your eye. In the end, you collect all kinds of tidbits. My ambition with the film has been to somehow expand the medium,” Trier says.
    Lars von Trier (b.1956) is a Danish film director and screenwriter, whose prolific career spans almost four decades. His pivotal work is known for its technical innovation and examination of existential, social, and political issues in movies such as ‘The Element of Crime’ (1984), ‘Europa’ (1991), ‘Breaking the Waves’ (1996), ‘The Idiots’ (1998), ‘Dancer in the Dark’ (2000), ‘Dogville’ (2003), ‘Antichrist’ (2009), ‘Melancholia’ (2011), Nymphomaniac (2013) and ‘The House That Jack Built’ (2018). He is also the creator of the TV series ‘The Kingdom’ (1994-1997) and one of the creators of the innovative Dogma 95 style manifesto (along with e.g. Thomas Vinterberg), which has since marked Danish and European film alike. Among his numerous awards at film festivals worldwide, Trier has received the Palme d’Or, the Grand Prix, Prix du Jury and The Technical Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, as well as The University of Copenhagen’s DKK 1 million Sonning Prize 2018. In 2018 Brandt Museum in Odense, Denmark presented a major exhibition providing a retrospective overview of the work of Trier: ‘Lars von Trier - The good with the evil’. Trier is also the founder and shareholder of the international film production company Zentropa Films. In 2022 Lars von Trier will release the third part of ‘The Kingdom’, entitled ‘The Kingdom Exodus’.
    Lars von Trier was interviewed by Christian Lund at his home outside Copenhagen in November 2020.

    Lars. Rare artistic genius of our time. We can compare him to David Lynch on so many levels, but this interview gives us glimpse on how Lars THINKS and that is quite unique and really way, way ahead of anyone in film making business. And that something is comparable only to late David Foster Wallace (who wrote brilliant essay on Lynch), and in a way Lars reminds me of Žižek. I adore Lars, from the Element of Crime to this day. He is a treasure, I would say level of his importance is similar to Bowie's. Lars suffers from depression and phobias, and obviously he is on medications, but his mind is super clear and bright. World needs you, LVT.

    I have so much love for this man. He has changed a lot in film, more than he probably realizes. Melancholia and The House That Jack Built (especially the ending) are pure works of art. As a filmmaker he transcends his own medium and creates space for authentic innovation. It's a shame his work, as well as himself as a person, seem to be so misunderstood - but this says more about the level of development of those who are quick to judge him, and these strange times we currently find ourselves in.

    It is impossible to watch this interview without tears. Lars looks incredibly sick, which is even a little creepy. During the whole time I was watching, the resentment that this man was now in painful loneliness, alone with his depression and Parkinson’s disease, did not leave me. Now Lars looks even worse than in this interview and this is incredibly frustrating. This is a great director, a true creator, whose films carry the right, necessary thoughts, drags them through difficult and shocking revelations, but it is through these frightening films that the thought that Lars put into his cinema reaches the viewer. Sorry if there were errors in the text, I used Google translator.
    By the way, the work of Lars von Trier in Russia is very much loved and appreciated. Lars noted that he was pleased with this, because he really loves Andrei Tarkovsky.

    Element of Crime, Europa (which inspired spielberg to make schindler's list), Dogville, Antichrist and Melancholia. All provocative, innovative and fresh with superb art style. If some director would achieve the half-level of even one of these, he'd be considered great. Mr. Trier did all of these and more.
    He is for me amongst the dying breed of last true masters. Huge, huge respect.

      Same here. It's clear that he genuinely spends a lot of time contemplating art, it's structure, and purpose. The constant struggle of wanting control, and the freedom to just create, while also understanding that truly impactful art requires letting go, being challenged, and having limitations. Recognizing the effiency, and brilliance of narrative tools like Chekhov's gun, but realizing it makes your work cliche, boring, and predictable. I could go on, but everything he says here are all things I've had to learn the hard way, all things I spend way too much time trying figure out, and manage. He is saying things I don't see many other film makers saying. Which is kind of insightful, and refreshing.

      Are we sure that this isn’t alcoholism? It could very well be Parkinson’s, it could very well be that he’s on some prescriptions that have him all jacked up, but I believe he also has been known to drink a bit..
      I don’t know if he’s a daily drinker, or a functional alcoholic, or what, but an addiction to alcohol, even if it’s not severe, can and often does cause the tremors that we’re seeing here. I know he’s said that sometimes alcohol is all that helps, regarding his depressive episodes and whatnot, so I don’t see it as unlikely, and it’s even worse if he takes some prescriptions for depression or anxiety on top of drink..
      Whatever the case, I wish him well! 🙏❤️
      (Edit: it should be noted that I’m not suggesting he had Parkinson’s, or is on prescriptions that are “screwing him up”.. others directly above suggested this, and I’m merely responding. As far as the alcohol problems and depression are concerned, these aren’t mere suggestions, as a quick google search or read of his wiki bio or whatever will likely show. He’s admitted to both these problems. I’m also not suggesting that’s all there is to what we see here, I’m just saying that it’s part of the broader context.
      As far as value judgements, I have none. I’ve suffered with my own mental and physical health problems, and I know the pain of addiction (though not alcoholism in my case), and the problems it can cause. I have empathy and compassion for him, not condemnation. Again, I wish him well, whatever the case actually is. ✌️

    Imagine how the world would've benefitted from minds like Mr. Trier's... Imagine da vinci, tesla, bergman lived up to 600-700 years old... From what wonders we're robbed of because of mortality... But i'm sure humanity will reach immortality one day, it will. But just how upsetting that we will not live to see it, and would have wasted our pathetic short lives with so many meaningless trivial problems because of being born just a little bit too early.
    Anyway, i'm digressing.
    Mr. Trier, you are an amazing director and your works are all unique. Sorry that the world we are living in now could not grasp your brilliance, your yearning for truth, honesty... This world is a hell for delicate artists, such as yourself. But you have given so many people like me incredible feelings, experiences with your unique films.
    So much respect for you. Be good and in peace always. Love from a forever fan of yours, love from Turkey.

    I'm watching again and again this interview since days, thinking about is views on art, the meaning of it and the way to do it. It is devastating watching an artist this great so phisically (hoping there isn't a lot to worry about is mental healt) damaged; his arms trembling and his long pauses when talking about "coming to terms" with his works...
    What I want to say is that here we have, alive, an artist who sees art as it was seen by the great minds of our history, and we should appreciate him as an artist (leaving out personal life ecc...) before the point where every artist is appreciated, so when dead. This happens so many times.
    At this time we have great minds and great artist and we should support them in time for giving them the pleasure of it.

    This is absolutely extraordinary and fascinating in every way. Lars' comments on Breaking the Waves are one of the many high points in this interview, as is his brief discussion of Marguerite Duras' India Song, one of the greatest films ever made in my opinion but one which few people, even cinastes, know. But of course Lars does... I kind of knew he would.

  • @tetepeb

    In the last week i watched the three seasons of The Kingdom for the first time so now im on a Lars Von Trier exploration and i watched Breaking the Waves for the first time and will watch Dancer in the Dark for the first time soon. (I´ve watched The Idiots and his movies from Antichrist and onwards since before)
    So i have also read articles and watched interviews with him and one think i read was that he wrote season 3 for The Kingdom but Ernst Hugo Järegård died the year after season 2 and a couple of years after the actress who play Drusse also died.
    And if i have got things right the script for season 3 was written from scratch in 2020 and onwards.
    It would be really interesting to read the first season 3 script to see what he was planing to do with the characters Stig Helmer and Drusse and all the other ones that is not in the season 3 we got. Also to see what his original plan for the last season was and how different or alike they are.
    Sadly this will probably never happen i think.
