You should maybe see more films by someone who isn’t a hack. Dreyer, maybe??
More Dreyer??? And Trier is a hack?
PS. I Forgot Dreyers “Vredens Dag” and Boes “Allegro”.
@ Keyser Söze: people who hate LVT don’t understand LVT – that’s just the way life goes for geniuses
Yes, because Trier’s films don’t look laughably out of place on that list.
Have you haters seen The Kingdom (Riget) by Lars von Trier? It isn’t possible to hate that.
