Will Lars von Trier ever be invited back to Cannes? I've read a couple of articles that speculate on whether or not he will be allowed back. Off course he will return. He's Cannes' favorite son; Cannes made von Trier but you can just easily make the argument that von Trier made Cannes. He's about to film an epic in two parts about women sexuality- what festival would say no to the prospect of something like that?- And he still has the project with Scorsese coming up- if LvT is still good enough for Scorsese, LvT is good enough for Cannes. Oh yes, Trier WILL be back.

I’ve heard criticism that von Trier’s latest films look like perfume commercials. Is von Trier playing with that criticism by making the main character of Melancholia a designer of advertisements?

Hi there! My name is Lars Von Trier and I'm a genius. I know that, you know that... It's just that sometimes I like to behave like a spoiled stupid kid and open my mouth to say the most stupid thing that comes to my mind (or do I?) so everybody would feel shocked and talk about what I said instead of my films. One way or the other, you end up talking about me, therefor, I won.

He's a genius. I was hesitant at first but his cinema is haunting. Now he's one of my favorite directors. (I still have to see Antichrist but I've seen about 9 other films by him including Melancholia which was awesome.)

my feelings about him are pretty mixed, but ignoring what I don't like I would say I love him

Words fly, only what u made remains. Everyone in this world has a right to blunder , but no-one has a wright to damage somebody else. Psychologic harm can be tolerable, physical NEVER.

Very Inspiring- “I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.”

I like his movies although some of my friends throw the pretentious label at him. But what worries me is that I can't quite figure out if he is a sexist or not. He is a converted Catholic and a lot of his later films basically try there best to punish women but I am not yet sure if this a comment on sexism or a glorification of it.

his quote up there is perfect. “I think it's important that we all try to give something to this medium, instead of just thinking about what is the most efficient way of telling a story or making an audience stay in a cinema.” so many filmmakers are too comfortably cowardly. lars von trier is a hero.

“I am the best film director in the world.” That should be his quote.

Well, we'll never know for sure. Perhaps it's his inherent state of being! Wherein change could mean certain death, you know how phobic he is... XD

[regarding the post on July 1]: Charles, even if arrogance has helped him get where he is today, there's no need for it to be continued.

RA1N, That's probably the best and most mature explanation regarding the current craze over Lars' persona and his filmmaking. Of course he's going to respond sarcastically when he's so obviously and abhorrently challenged to question his own sensibilities just because other people cannot read past the surface of things, even as grostesque as that surface may be.

Oh, please. Why is that "I am best director in the world." quote so popuar when it was obviously meant as a joke? See or read any interview with Lars and you will see he is very modest, honest and also very sarcastic about himself. It aches me when I see people hating him because journalists purposedly misinterpreted it. Its you peple who pass judgment on others based on bullshit that are arrogant.

Well, you may be right. However, if Lars were modest, the best we could probably hope for is seeing his name credited next to the likes of real arrogant people who'd turn his work into the usual cottage cheese.
