Lars von Trier is one of the most controversial figures of
contemporary European cinema. This volume analyzes the themes and
motifs of the director's work and the changes he has brought to
modern film. Ever since he founded the back-to-basics Dogme
philosophy of filmmaking in 1995, von Trier's name has been tied to
taboo-breaking cinema. He consistently courts media controversy
through films such as The Idiots (1998), with its unsimulated sex
and nonconformist politics. This volume presents von Trier as one
of the most daring cinematic exponents of postmodern politics and
satire.
