Most Helpful Customer Reviews 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Cannes it be true?, May 1, 2004 By  Tom Duncan (New York, NY) - See all my reviews This is a very enjoyable, well researched book. Any fan of Lars von Trier will enjoy reading this even if it means re-reading information they may have come across in the past. Though the Cannes film festival has been a repeated rite of passage for the director, this book obsessively follows von Trier's relationship with the festival as if it were the only event that mattered in his career. Nevertheless, Stevenson does go to great lengths to cover all aspects of von Trier's life, professional and personal in equal measure. Overall, this is an excellent book that provides a witty, insightful view into the mind of a very important artist.		Ad feedback   Search Customer Reviews Only search this product's reviews
