Description
Lars Trier affected the lordly 'von' in his name while still a film student, in homage to such great movie-makers of the past as von Sternberg and von Stroheim. His own brilliant directing career has been marked by similarly grand ambitions, and he is unique in having premièred all of his features - from the highly-styled 'The Element of Crime' to the digital-video-originated 'The Idiots' - at the Cannes Film Festival.
Trier is a rare item in contemporary cinema, a restless innovator and polemicist, as his participation in the back-to-basics Dogme95 movement attests; and these conversations with Stig Bjorkman, author of 'Bergman on Bergman' and 'Woody Allen on Woody Allen', trace the evolution of his career and thought in a manner that is both astonishingly detailed and engagingly humorous.
