Didn't take YouTube long to TOS that one. Is it worth digging for?

Good post. Lifelong cinephile, and I consider Lars von Trier to be our greatest living director. One of the only good things to come out of Denmark (lol). I can't overstate how much of a fan I am.

And yeah, this trailer is fucking incredible. My friend just emailed it to me and immediately after viewing I saw this thread. So relevant to our times. Coming (heh) right on the heels of the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon.

So much to look forward to here. The classical music bookended by industrial metal. The elegant visuals. The overall scumminess of it all... I'm reeling in my chair.

Is that Ramstein playing in the trailer?

[MikeCF]

That trailer was bad ass.

[soup]

Von Trier is one of the best directors alive.

[Screwston]

Is there another link? What else has Lars done?

Check out "The Idiots" about a bunch of trolls pretending to be retarded in order to get free food and stuff like that.

Also, "Breaking The Waves"

It appears that the Nymphomaniac trailer has already been shut down due to its sexual content. Take comfort in knowing that hundreds of teen "twerk" videos are still readily available.

In terms of his career, von Trier has been a fixture of arthouse film since the late 1980s. He is most well known for spearheading the "Dogme" movement in the mid 90s; him and other Scandinavian filmmakers sought to deconstruct commercial cinema by reducing it to its most base elements. Basically, they shot emotionally complex dramas with handheld digital cameras and edited them in an unorthodox style. However, understand that before this von Trier had already made traditionally epic films such as Europa (1991), which I encourage all to seek out immediately.

Von Trier continued his career with the Twin Peaks spin-off series The Kingdom, which marked his most accessible work to date. In 1996 he completed Breaking The Waves, an emotionally devastating drama about a cognitively challenged woman coping with the paralysis and cruelty of her lover. Many of von Trier's films depict idealists who are crushed under the weight of the harshness of reality.

He won the Palme D'or (the top award at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival) in 2000 for Dancer In The Dark, a surreal and heartbreaking "musical" starring Bjork. Bjork was traumatized by the experience of having participated in the film and maintains animosity toward von Trier to this day.

Several other films were made in its wake, the most notable being Dogville, an utterly bizarre theatre drama starring Nicole Kidman which provoked criticism for its alleged "anti-Americanism." I consider Dogville to be his finest work and it is a film that truly has to be seen to be believed. The sets are outlined by chalk lines on a black floor, and despite this visual eccentricity, it still manages to be one of the most compelling dramas of this millennium. Rather fascist in its subtext as well, if one has ears to hear.

Von Trier has directed several more films than I am willing to type at length about at this time, but his most interesting contemporary work is 2009's Antichrist, which was his brilliant attempt at horror. Of course it was shunned or otherwise ignored by the plebeian horror subculture, but Antichrist demonstrated a surreal trip into darkness and the most base regions of the human spirit as had yet been demonstrated in the cinematic medium.

Von Trier was half-assedly "banned" from the Cannes Film Festival in 2011 for joking that he was a "Nazi" during his promotion of his most recent film Melancholia, which is also exceptional and contains some insinuation of hypergamy and the overall wickedness of female nature. He's a director you want to be sure to check out.

Looks interesting.

[Caligula]

Lars von Trier is one of the few directors around who isn't afraid to push the boundaries and explore PC taboos. For this reason he's often been criticized by the press for being misogynist. Notably for Breaking the Waves and Antichrist. On Antichrist he hired someone to trawl through Western sources going back to the bible to find sources relating to the treacherous nature of women

Look how he trolled everybody at the Cannes Festival.
Those PC people really didn't understand that he was joking and being a bit sarcastic.

Btw the facial expressions of Kirsten Dunst are just priceless. xD

[Teutatis]

Anything related to a young female sexuality is an instant success, be it movies, books, songs, whatever.

If someone wrote a book about some guy that just loves sex and wants to have as much of it as possible everyone would go "yeah, whatever, who cares", you put a young female as the protagonist and everyone will run to see it/ buy it.

I've watched many "artistic" movies but always for masturbatory purposes even though the director always says he/she is using sex to show something about society or life or make a metaphor about whatever crap they think of, and then you have the critics saying that it's such an incredible and deep story about blah blah blah. Right, no one cares about your deep meaningful story, people just want to see young women naked and having sex.

I like Lars Von Trier but from what I can tell this just looks like another of those movies, maybe I'm wrong. I'll watch for sure though

[la_mode]

Any famous director who goes for even the slightest bit of "shock value" (which Von Trier goes for extra, similar to Cronenberg or Almodovar) will instantly be branded some sort of genius by those who think they know so much about movies. Directors who simply make good movies aren't in the same category of "genius", for whatever reason.

Jokes, that clip was another nail in the coffin for awkward German humour:

[funkyzeit]

So it's basically a high budget porn that is trying to be "artistic" by featuring a bunch of famous actors and having a few "deep" lines of dialog. Will torrent.

I liked "dancer in the dark." Bjork gets lost in her character and goes legit crazy during the filming and quits talking to the director.
