Lars von Trier

Director | Writer
Date of birth : 04/30/1956
City of birth : Copenhagen, Denmark

“A film should be like a rock in the shoe.” Despite the controversy surrounding his figure, Lars von Trier is a key author in the international film scene of recent times. In 1979 he began his studies at the Danish National Film School, where he experimented and made award-winning films at festivals such as the Munich Film Festival. His first feature film as a graduate was "The Element of Crime" (1983), which won him the Grand Technical Achievement Award and the Camera d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. The following two films, "Epidemic" (1987) and "Europa" (1991), complete his European Trilogy and once again earn him recognition from the French festival. Together with Thomas Vinterberg, fed up with the production scheme of the mainstream cinema and the superfluous artifice of Hollywood, they propose a return to the essential bases of the seventh art with an urgency to purify it, which is how "Dogma 95" arises; a movement and manifesto with rules in search of an avant-garde cinema in Danish hands. The result is raw, uncomfortable and transgressive works, both in form and content, such as "The Idiots" (1998) or "The Celebration" (1998) by Thomas Vinterberg. Like the rest of the vanguards, it sowed its influence and fulfilled its cycle, after which Von Trier continued to make films without respecting the self-imposed rules to the letter but maintained the conceptual spirit of the same, always advocating a controversial and risky cinema.

Finally, they reach a horrible pit into which magma pours nonstop, the way to the deepest circle of Hell. That’s not Jack’s destination, though - despite the perfection he sought with his horrific murders, he isn’t des

Narrative Structure Analysis of "The House That Jack Built": The Fusion of Dante's Divine Comedy and Nursery Rhyme

Lars von Trier is a frequent guest at film festivals and is considered an eccentric figure in the eyes of movie enthusiasts. Each time he makes an appearance, it almost always comes with major news. Sometimes, this big news is not just about his films but may also involve his unconventional actions. In 2011, Lars von Trier faced long-term "blacklisting" at the Cannes Film Festival due to inappropriate comments he made about the Nazis and Jewish people. However, seven years later, he returned to

Mia Goth, the new queen of horror movies, scared the audience with a three-minute shot.

Who do you think of when you refer to "A24's horror queen"? The answer in my mind is Mia Goth. Although she knows that horror movies have no place in the Oscar, her love for thrillers has been engraved in her bones. Whether it's the porn star who wants to be famous in "X," the old lady who yearns for young flesh, or the crazy girl in a red dress in "Pearl," she touches the hearts of the audience with a highly recognizable face and explosive acting skills. Today, I want to talk about Mia Goth. In
