What a wonderful soul! I could listen to him for the rest of my life. At times he's so sweet and kind that you feel like giving him a hug. He was a man who went through a lot. A true artist. This interview should be seen in every art school. A lot of life lessons here. His observations are so profound, it makes me excited to read "the great works" as he said. From The Bible, Ibsen, Strindberg, Proust, Thomas Mann, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy - he read them all and has great respect for them. I'm happy to be alive and can hear this wonderful artist speak his mind.

[@ClaudeCrobatia]

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.

[@zackharris8373]

I still think about The House That Jack Built, even though I have watched it a few times now its one of my all time favourite movies and really doesn't come close to anything I have ever seen, non of his films do. They are so original and different, he's a true artistic filmmaker.

Of all the things I love so much about this interview, and there are many... it's taken me this long to figure out the thing I love best: Lars takes each question seriously, as a nice jumping off point, instead of interpreting them as cynically as possible, which is what many in his position do. He is so, so genuine, and so unbelievably smart. These are characteristics that don't typically coincide.

[@agitpopkultura]

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.

If I have an alter ego in this life it is Lars von Trier. I wish that when I was more active in the film business than I am now I could have found a way to get involved in financing and producing one of his films. That would have been my foremost achievement in live.

[@jerkenvensen]

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.

Pretty cool. Well-spoken and insightful. His films are excellent. It's nice to see a filmmaker of his stature speak candidly on a wide variety of subjects. Long live Lars von Trier.

[@ИльяМаздров-б2н]

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.

[@aussiedonaldtrump]

Dancer In The Dark, Melancholia, and The House That Jack Built were my best Lars Von Trier movies. Lars makes movies in a way where every scene can mean up to 5 different things. All of his movies are original, and I love that.

[@zackharris8373]

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.

[@mvjonsson]

Looks like he is suffering from Parkinson's disease.

[@nikolademitri731]

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. ✌️

Seeing him like this.... crushed me. Looking back his interviews from 2000s, 2010s.... Getting old is so unfair. With years, you get more experienced and your mind gets stronger, riper, ready to produce much much more interesting and important works, but your body gives up and you die. all that gained experience and potential are lost, forever. how unfair, how tragic it is, it brings me closer to tears even just writing now....... 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.

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.

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.

to all the people in the comments wondering why he trembles - he says why 3 minutes into the video.

It’s funny I hate starting.. I love when you on the way.. either in middle or the end.. probably because I have run marathons and the start is frustrating because you know there is a long way to go or a book.. yeah a book can have a great start but when you are getting through it it’s starting to get interesting but that’s different for people to people

Breaking the Waves, Mr.von Trier was actually more efficient in committing that story to film than Bela Tarr who explored the same narrative in his seven-plus hour masterpiece. So it is just as perfect the way it is now, And Emily Watson did justice to the protagonist role.

ehhh satantango may not be as efficient but much more effective

It's sad to see him like this...

Thank you, great artist!

[@zurixon]

I love movies, i love actresses, actors, directors. Lars von Trier never left me indifferent. What a fucking great artist!!!!

[@gitbuh12345qwerty]

This is a great artist. It irritates me when people hate on him because of sex and violence. We need more artists like him, our society needs to embrace its dark side, it is the only way to quiet it. Rejecting it only makes it louder, stronger, that much more enticing to people who have nowhere else to go.
