A French film critic and business man can't keep his mouth shut during a screening at the Cannes Film Festival.
Lars Von Trier
Born 1956, Denmark. Graduate of the National Film School of Denmark, 1983. His graduation film "Befrielsesbilleder/Images of Relief" (1982) evoked the attention of the critics, who declared there was nothing comparable in Danish cinema since Dreyer. In a few years Von Trier became an internationally acclaimed auteur director of feature films. Trier is also innovator and partner of Zentropa, a multi-faceted and visionary Danish production company, and cofounder of Dogme95, a concept which has inspired filmmakers worldwide.
Von Trier's major films fall into three trilogies: E-Trilogy, the Goldlocks-Trilogy, and his US-Trilogy. Von Trier, a Cannes laureate, has received top awards at this festival for four titles: "Forbrydelses Element"/"The Element of Crime" (1984), "Europa" (1991), "Breaking the Waves" (1996), and "Dancer in the Dark" (2000), which received the prestigious Palme d'Or.
