He’s an honest child in a grown man’s body.

Most people: Ingmar Bergman was a true genius. Lars: *M A S T U R B A T I O N*

this is simultaneously the most honest & provocative interview of an artist about an influence i've ever seen. lars is uncompromising i fucking love it

This is the greatest thing ever

Wow ! This interview was just like his films. It went places nobody does

I come here regularly to have a good laugh

Two of my favorite directors. Didn't know how much influence Bergman had on Trier, but it's not exactly surprising.

This makes me feel as if there is sanity in the world

thaanks Was looking for it with english subtitles for a long time. Oh, how I love him ((

He's so great and honest it's just mind-blowing!

I ADORE THIS INTERVIEW

-two generations of daddy issues

If only we would all speak so frankly as Lars here.

So true. Fuck ego, icons.Lars is honest, pearl, great human being.Artist par excellence.

Thanks for uploading. I observe in LVT both in his work and his words repeatedly a search for a father figure, (even if imaginary and/or mired in conflict, disappointment, anger) even though it’s not as often discussed as, say his nihilism, narcissism or misogyny. It’s here with Bergman. It’s the five obstructions. It’s in so many of his films as a kind of father/therapist/listener character...

Ingmar is Chuck, Lars is Jimmy McGill. Change my mind.

This was not what I expected when I clicked on it 😂

Lars von Trier är helt underbar. Älskar den mannen

Thanks for uploading this, Huxley.

а трийр, как обычно, провёл меня от истерического хохота до утомленных слёз

lars von trier is a goth that never grew out of his misanthropic phase.

Does anyone agree with him on Fanny and Alexander? I think it's wonderful. Yes, it brings together all his obsessions in one 5-hour film (really a tv mini-series). I don't think it's artistically compromised for the sake of appeal to a broad audience. Not at all. It just happens to be a good story, with some lovable characters and a happy ending.

te quiero agradecer mucho el subtitulo ESP. Alguien sabe donde puedo ver este documental subtitulado? muchas gracias

This person is amazing

Legend on legend

i 1000% agree with lars sbout bergman - i have the same ups and downs like about fanny and of course the same immense admiration. as any serious film fan would.

When Lars is talking about Bergman, he is secretly, or not really that secret, he is talking about himself and his insecurities.

The fact that Bergman didnt respond to any of the letters Lars sent makes me respect him even more...

This isn't what I expected 😅

Hahaha, jeg grinede sgu højt flere gange. Elsker Lars von T.

bu adam benim babam

It's funny, but there is a bit (a lot) of projection going on here.

his ambivalence toward the end is fascinating, but seems pretty childish and egomaniacal, and i suppose a lot of successful creative people use those qualities to their advantage as artists.

Am i the only one who finds is stange how he is randomly switching between Danish and Swedish when he speaks?

what is the song while lars talking, begins at 5.59 ? thanks for anyone who finds the song :)

Çok benziyoruz lars seninle uçak fobisi hariç

what can you expect from a zaat fan after all

I've only ever heard Lars speak in English. He speaks 10 times faster in Dutch, like he's just snorted a ton of Coke. Totally different person.

Anything else is unimaginable lol

he must say the wrong things

What in the world does this guy Lars know about cinema and art. He specializes in degradation and perversion. No compassion, sensitivity. Just bitterness and a desire to tear down even as he goes into Bergmans home.

Bergman said of Von Trier "he doesn't even know how much of a genius he is" coming from Bergman that's about as high a compliment as you could ever get

last movie from LVT was a long line of turds stitched to each other moving in circle... give me a break Lars.

wtf is that statue ?

So now Lars are 60+ years old and he will go to a limited creativity just as his " hero" Ingemar -thats wahts happens to men at 60 but i guess guys like Lars belive they drive a 100 miles an hour all life on the freeway to heaven . This intewiev seems to point at his "limited understanding at that age - and he lost his scrouples as every man at age 50+

Ironically Lars von Trier has become exactly what he criticizes, his use of the word masturbation is him projecting. Lars became a self indulgent "best off Trier" director who spells it out for his audience on the audio track in the most insulting fashion. I literally just watch his new films out of morbid curiosity to see Triers progression from once great radical filmmaker into complete pseudo-intellectual wankery
