 Lars von Trier Quotation"A film should be like a rock in the shoe." "Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking." "I don't think I tortured Nicole on Dogville, but I know she said I was tough." "My films are about ideals that clash with the world. Every time it's a man in the lead, they have forgotten about the ideals. And everytime it's a woman in the lead, they take the ideals all the way." "If his creation is so great, why does God want us on our knees?" "Put my American trilogy together and you'll have one hell of a grim evening. And you will not be entertained at all!" "There are a lot of Americans I sympathise with very much, but not the Government right now, no. We just do not agree on politics, but that's not being Anti-American. I am critical about a country with a system that allows so many losers. I think that is wrong." Movie Title: De Ydmygede (1998) as Lars von Trier: [dicating his diary] Lars von Trier : I still fear cancer of the balls. That's the way it's supposed to be. I guess there's always something which prevents life from being easy. The breaks I've had in my life have been bloody short. Lars von Trier : In brief flashes, life is wonderful. P.S. The last sentence and this entry have made me so nervous that I'm getting physical symptoms. Plus it's a hot day. Declaring "life is wonderful" fills me with anxiety beyond imagination. Lars von Trier : It's uncomfortable, but don't show it. I don't think you should say anything. Your face gives you away. You just have to be humiliated like the rest. There were some good moments. Jens Albinus : It's rather disgusting, isn't it? Lars von Trier : But there's a goal higher than ourselves. Zentropa's income. Lars von Trier : They look dangerous. What do you think, Jesper? Jesper Jargil : One of them had a puppy. Lars von Trier : That's the dangerous part. The worst criminals always have a puppy, and then suddenly.... Lars von Trier : While I was filming, I actually cried. And since this is a diary, some honesty is required. I got all choked up and suddenly afraid....for my talent. I know this sounds terrible, but after a scene like that, I'm afraid hubris will strike like a fist from the sky and annihilate me, just like a mosquito in the woods. And then I think, "Cancer! I'll get cancer now!" But that's how I feel at the end of a day like today. A day in Trier's puppet theater. Lars von Trier : The morning of July 21. Our final week. I'm prepared. I've slept fairly well even though I realized last night that the lump in my throat must be cancer of the esophagus. Lars von Trier : I think we've made a good film, and I think it was all worthwhile. On the other hand, the films I truly believed in bombed. We'll see. |
