As I sat in front of my computer downloading my favorite song from Napster, I started to think about how hard it must have been to write a song so sublime with the way the words flow from one another, and how talented one must be to do so. I started to think how hard people work on their music for themselves and their fans, and how their fans don’t realize what they are doing every time they download a song off the internet. What they don’t realize is that it is messing over the people who worked
Nymphomaniac vol. I & II directed by Lars Von Trier marks his third and final installment of his “Trilogy of Depression”. The film opens up with Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), laying on the ground, beaten and bloody, as a man, Seligman, (Stellan Skarsgård) returning from a store passes her and offers her help. She refuses any sort of medical help, and insists that he does not call the ambulance and instead asks for a cup of tea. Seligman tells her he does not “serve tea on the street” and escorts her
of them there are a few avenues they can explore. One of the most powerful is cinema. There are a number of great films that explore this subject in detail, and shed light on a perspective most Americans may not be familiar with. Two such films are Lars Von Trier’s portrait of everyday American life called Dogville, and the other is Francis Ford Coppola’s war epic Apocalypse Now. Although both films are quite different, both emphasize and reinforce the negative stereotypes associated with Americans
The film Lars and the Real Girl cast Lars, an adult male with not only odd behavior, but the social immaturities similar to a child as well. Our main character also carries around a heavy load of baggage which plays a very important role is his diagnosis. To begin with it’s obvious that Lars is socially inept from scene one. In fact, in an earlier scene, Karin, Lars sister-in-law married to brother Gus is speaking to her husband about how Lars must be very lonely. Karin asks Lars over on multiple

On this essay I will be focusing on Lars Von Trier background and biography. I will then list some of his major contributions to the art work, and his most famous works of art. I will include some interesting facts that have influenced him throughout his life and which I thought were important for his development as a filmmaker. Finally I will conclude the essay with my personal opinion of his character and overall art work. Von Trier was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in April 1956. He graduated from
Lars von Trier is undoubtedly a polarizing filmmaker. His repertoire invokes a range of emotions from earnest avoidance to curious infatuation. He’s been pointed out as a purveyor of misogyny as he famously and deliberately places many of his females in rather unkind situations to say the least (i.e. the brain-searing climax in Antichrist). And his penchant to depict the uncomfortable and sometimes unfathomable has been interpreted as obscene and sensationalist for its own sake. And yet his work
which is why in 1995, the Danish film directors Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Kristian Levring, and Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, created the film genre of Dogme95. In an effort to save filmmaking from over stylized ‘Hollywood bourgeois’, Dogme95 had a set of strict rules that any director undertaking the genre had to adhere to, in an effort to keep the film pure, and bring filmmaking back to what they believed it was supposed to be about: storytelling. Lars von Trier is famous for creating both Dogme95
In the film Dogville written and directed by Lars von Trier, there is no outdoor or indoor movie set in the traditional sense that they film on. Instead the director chose to use a large empty stage, set up like a large blueprint of the town of Dogville with each house individually named and outlined. The entirety of the movie is shot on this stage and it is never left once, much like a theatrical play but with no audience. There is also no musical score, and the only sound added to the film are
If I was to reduce my description of "Dancer in the dark" to one word, it would be daring. Its immediate effect on me was stronger than that of maybe any other film I've ever seen. It shook me, stirred my emotions, made me think and reflect, it disturbed me in the most positive sense of the word and it still does. Its radical make, boldness and consistency exceeds all expectations and probably everything that's come before. This is the perfect example of a director's vision uncompromisingly realized
