Lars von Trier is the most controversial figure of contemporary
European cinema. This volume is the first book to analyse in depth
the changes he has brought to modern film. Since founding the
back-to-basics Dogme philosophy of filmmaking in 1995, von Trier's
name has become a by-word for taboo-breaking cinema. As a director,
he has courted media controversy through films such as The Idiots
(1998), with its unsimulated sex and non-conformist politics, and
through his complex relationships with actresses such as Bjork and
Nicole Kidman, from whom he coaxed career-best performances in
Dancer in the Dark (2000) and Dogville (2003) respectively.
Analysing these films as well as recent works such as The Five
Obstructions (2004) from a psychoanalytic perspective, it forges a
new understanding of the founder of Dogme 95 as a great
democratiser of cinema in the digital age.
