Lars Von Trier is objectively good cinema
- detritus 5mo agoegh, as much as I enjoyed his Dogme 95 fayre when I was young and far more self-important, I find his later 'big cinema' output turgid twaddle. Melancholia was just about bareable but from Mandalay onwards I could barely struggle through to the end of his flicks. Nymphomaniac made me almost literally angry at its denouement. Just.. shit.

- whywhywhywhy 5mo agoWho would have thought an auteur would be a fully formed and flawed person where flaws may be as extreme as their talent. It’s almost as if creativity is connected to emotions, ideology and experience or something.
- 0gs 5mo agoeveryone, i think. doesn't mean auteurs have to make movies glorifying their flaws without a trace of introspection for 20+ years.
- falcor84 5mo agoI suppose that's not what you meant, but I love the idea of "Lars Von Trier" as a persona being good cinema. At the very least, it made me understand that I need him to appear as himself in the next Death Stranding game.
- artyom 5mo agoAgreed. Also Lars Von Trier is objectively not involved in this (only in Dogma 95, which this is "based on").
