As a talented film director, Lars von Trier always surprises the world again and again.

As the initiator of the most famous "Dogma 95" movement in the 1990s, the name of director Lars von Trier will be destined to be written into the world film history. Not only that, but this eccentric filmmaker, who has always had the title of "scary boy from Denmark", has been attracting the world's continuous attention with his unique artistic creation. Whether it is the early TV movie "The Storm in the Hospital", the so-called "trilogy of conscience" later, or the recently released film "Dogville" which caused widespread controversy, movie lovers all over the world will, as always, eagerly look forward to the news of his next work after crying, laughing, praising and cursing. This is a very contradictory and interesting phenomenon, although the directors of these films don't think so.

Born in Lars von Trier, Denmark, 1956, he became attached to film from the film course he studied in university. 1979 entered the Danish Film Academy and won the Munich "Best Film" award for his short film "The Portrait of Redemption" until 1985 graduated. Before graduating from 65438 to 0984, he made his mark in the international film industry with his first feature film "Crime Unit". Once the film was released, it not only won many international awards including the "Advanced Technology Award" of Cannes International Film Festival, but also made him an instant hit. Shortly after graduating from college, he also won the best film award at Munich Film Festival twice for his two works "Night Fantasy" and "Many Faces" created in college.

After entering the 1990s, Lars von Trier continued his glory in the film industry. After his film "European Express" was a great success, a TV movie "Hospital Storm" shocked the whole international film circle with its cold Nordic photography style. Filmmakers all over the world seem to have a new understanding of this young director who suddenly rushed out of Denmark, a small Nordic country, and at the same time feel incredible about his ingenious creation. However, Lars von Trier did welcome his "The First Day of Our Life" in his film career, and thus became the most concerned director in the future film industry.

Of course, these achievements alone are not enough to establish Lars von Trier's status as a master. So in the next few years, this genius who has the wisdom of an urchin for movies has successively released his most famous trilogy of conscience, namely Breaking the Waves, Idiot and later Dancer in the Dark. Among them, Breaking the Waves won the Jury Award at Cannes International Film Festival and the Best Film at European Film Festival for its profound connotation of accusing cannibalism and medical incompetence, while Idiot won the highest honors at several large international film festivals. As for Dancer in the Dark, it is an absolute classic, which not only won bjork, the singer who participated in the film performance for the first time, the honor of Cannes Film Emperor, but also made many fans think that its failure in the best film award competition will be another unforgivable mistake made by Oscar in its history.

2/kloc-at the beginning of the 20th century, Lars von Trier invited Nicole Kidman, the most famous American actress, to shoot her new film Dogwell. Although the film received two diametrically opposite comments after its release, all the praise and criticism of the film could not erase the enlightening significance of the brand-new artistic style that director Lars von Trier tried in the filming process, which was closer to the stage play form. Of course, what movie master Lars von Trier deserves to mention more is the so-called "Dogma95" campaign he launched in 1995. In this new film movement, which is called "saving the dying film art" and "saving the innocence of the film like a new wave", who is the ultimate beneficiary has become irrelevant. Compared with this debate, what's more important is that after such a modest revolution, young film directors represented by Lars von Trier finally started their own more persistent and fearless artistic creation with their sincere and explosive works, thus getting closer to the essence and core of film art, which will obviously have more important historical significance for the future film development.

Bjork is a famous alternative singer in Iceland, and the film Dancer in the Dark is her film debut. At first, she just wanted to write some music songs for the film, but director Lars von Trier advised her that "writing songs must be the same person as the performer", thinking that only in this way can we understand the feelings of the protagonist. Because bjork has never received formal training, acting in a movie is like suffering for her, and the total devotion has caused her great pain and mental stress. Even Lars von Trier admitted: "I think I gave her a lot of pain and pressure during filming." He even said that bjork worked like a "dead man". This is not to say that her performance is rigid, but that she has completely become a person in the play. Although bjork won the Cannes Film Festival after only appearing in this film, she decided never to appear on the screen again. Her reason is simple: "I want to create more music."
