a new lars von trier poll and discussion thread so we can keep all the yelling in one place for a while

Breaking the Waves, Dancer In the Dark, and Dogville seemed increasingly extreme as heroine martyr films, but then Dogville ultimately was a revenge film

The last film of his I enjoyed was The Boss of It All. Antichrist and Melancholia had their virtues, but being pleasant viewing experiences wasn't one of them - the sense of artistic struggle and general emotional malaise was too strong. I put off seeing Nymphomaniac until the long version became available, but if it did, I haven't watched it; I don't know whether the thought of seeing his last two films makes me indifferent or repulsed.
It's strange because in the 90s he was so fascinating, even when I didn't "agree" with the films (like Breaking the Waves) or he seemed to be playing with a joker persona. A real dark cloud came over his work in the last 15 years or so, and I don't think it's just depression.

He says his trembling is from anti-depressants, but I wonder if it's alcoholism/withdrawal related?

Oh God

Well goddamn...
