Lars von TrierIf you want to provoke, you should provoke someone who is stronger than you, otherwise you are misusing your power.
Lars von TrierMy films generally center around thousands of pictures being flashed in rapid succession to create the illusion of motion.
Lars von TrierItโs the opening of Manderlay in Cannes, and Iโm sitting next to this guy whoโs writing for a tiny fictitious French paper called โOn the Sunny Side,โ and heโs writing a review on the film, and heโs obviously bored. Then he tells me about all the cars he owns, and how rich he is, and all these things... So, at a certain point, he says, "So what do you do?" Then I take out this very strange hammer we have in the Danish building business, and I say, "I kill." And then I kill him. It is as stupid as it sounds.
