On top of that list is the discussion surrounding religion, in particular here Christianity, in terms of its negative effects.
However, as a filmmaker von Trier challenges himself and his audience at once to engage in a creative discussion about things that we don’t often talk about openly as a society. Many of them deal with difficult subject matter, both figuratively and quite literally in many cases, and they’re tough to watch in their respective ways. Yet that’s not to say each of his films are an exercise in endurance. You’re never going to find a happy von Trier flick. Because one thing I’ve always felt interested me in his writing particularly is that there’s often a huge amount of his anxiety, his depression, which bursts onto the page. I don’t care how foolish he may sound at times. Lars von Trier is one of my favourite auteur writer-directors in the industry. Starring Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg, & Storm Acheche Sahlstrøm.
