A lovely book. Allowed me to meet Von Trier at an unadulteratedly close range. There is a genuine and creative rapport between Von Trier and Bjorkman, and arising from this are very intimate reveals of Von Trier's impressionable childhood, his inner drive and vision, his spirit of abandon, and of course his almost miraculous sense of fascination. An outsider with great powers.

Von Trier is now preparing for another shocker. It will be a black comedy in the form if a histodrama. It is the story of the Jewish Defense League founded by Meyer Kahane and it will be titled "Zionazis".

I am a fan of Lars von Trier's movies. In the U. S. A. there seems to be so little information about him. I enjoyed getting to know a little about the man behind the interesting movies. I purchased this about the same time that I bought the Kingdom, season 1 and season 2. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for liking his work as much as I do; but the seriousness, the offbeat, and different perspective of a Hollywood project is refreshing. Now I know a little more about the man behind entertains me.

When you watch Trier's films you get some sort of another level cinema or I should say the genial cinema. Well, the book is about the man who makes it to be on this level.
