Lars Von Trier is objectively good cinema
3 comments

Agreed.

Also Lars Von Trier is objectively not involved in this (only in Dogma 95, which this is "based on").

I suppose that's not what you meant, but I love the idea of "Lars Von Trier" as a persona being good cinema.

At the very least, it made me understand that I need him to appear as himself in the next Death Stranding game.

egh, as much as I enjoyed his Dogme 95 fayre when I was young and far more self-important, I find his later 'big cinema' output turgid twaddle.

Melancholia was just about bareable but from Mandalay onwards I could barely struggle through to the end of his flicks.

Nymphomaniac made me almost literally angry at its denouement. Just.. shit.
