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
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...
Very good observation. I have not seen Lars' films, but I sensed some resentment/bitterness in this interview--particularly the anecdote of his step-father. However, it was juxtaposed with some other rather perceptive insights--so it cannot be said that he condemned Bergman.
@@newengland1666 to you and the original poster; about the step father, something that wasn't translated/subbed - They translated it as stepfather but he said "my father, that turned out not to be my father". I imagine that's a heavy thing. Finding out your dad is not your dad would only compound that lack of father figure even more. Thought it was worth pointing out since you both brought up the father figure.
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.
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.
I get what he’s saying, but I also don’t totally agree. To me it felt more like Bergman just got to a point in his career where he just didn’t care about how “intellectual” or however he came off as, and instead just wanted to fully express himself without constraint, if that makes any sense.
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.
The interviewer is Swedish so she probably didn't understand him half the time and he tried to accommodate with some attempts at Swedish but kept forgetting while ranting. Happens all the time in the never ending miscommunication between Swedes and other Scandinavians.
It's not dutch lmao. It's danish. He sometimes uses some Swedish words though (because it's a Swedish documentary I guess). Also it could be that you watched a newer interview with him. Today he talks slowly even in danish
@@aspiringscientist1616 i think I was talking about Nymphomaniac, but I was wrong. i actually prefer Nymphomaniac to The House That Jack Built which is unbearable. I hate horror movies.
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
Yeah. Ever since he got sober he seems to have nothing interesting to say. I had really fucking high hopes for NYMPHOMANIAC but it was overlong and wasted a solid premise and format. I did like ANTI-CHRIST but I wonder what his original scripted version would have been like had he not had to re-write it because of the leak.
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+
Most people: Ingmar Bergman was a true genius.
Lars: *M A S T U R B A T I O N*
He’s an honest child in a grown man’s body.
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
I totally agree.
Absolutely!
❤
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
So true. Fuck ego, icons.Lars is honest, pearl, great human being.Artist par excellence.
Lars is the most fucking honest guy. I love him to death
He's so great and honest it's just mind-blowing!
I ADORE THIS INTERVIEW
If only we would all speak so frankly as Lars here.
Lars von Trier är helt underbar. Älskar den mannen
thaanks Was looking for it with english subtitles for a long time. Oh, how I love him ((
-two generations of daddy issues

misogyny?

Thank you for clarification@@JakeGittes84
Ingmar is Chuck, Lars is Jimmy McGill.
Change my mind.
а трийр, как обычно, провёл меня от истерического хохота до утомленных слёз
Thanks for uploading this, Huxley.

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

I completelly agree on fanny och alexander. It’s a horribly boring movie
@@skerigyttorp Its beyond beautiful.
lars von trier is a goth that never grew out of his misanthropic phase.
*Edgelord
Goths have more respect than him
@@joaopedropinheiro7530 Exactly! He is the purest edgelord in the world.
When Lars is talking about Bergman, he is secretly, or not really that secret, he is talking about himself and his insecurities.
Lars is never doing shit secretly.
This person is amazing
Legend on legend
The fact that Bergman didnt respond to any of the letters Lars sent makes me respect him even more...
Which one? I think both.
@@larsheihei3683 Nah, von Trier is a blow hard...
Lol why would you respect someone *particularly* for being a dick to someone else?
Same… lol
This isn't what I expected 😅
Hahaha, jeg grinede sgu højt flere gange. Elsker Lars von T.
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.
It's funny, but there is a bit (a lot) of projection going on here.
what is the song while lars talking, begins at 5.59 ? thanks for anyone who finds the song :)
maybee something from BACH
Am i the only one who finds is stange how he is randomly switching between Danish and Swedish when he speaks?
I couldn’t even tell lol
The interviewer is Swedish so she probably didn't understand him half the time and he tried to accommodate with some attempts at Swedish but kept forgetting while ranting. Happens all the time in the never ending miscommunication between Swedes and other Scandinavians.
Swedes largely understand Danish but certain words are totally different and eloquent Danes will adjust their speech accordingly.
bu adam benim babam
Rastlamayi ummuyordum
Ömen tanrım
what can you expect from a zaat fan after all
wtf is that statue ?
Çok benziyoruz lars seninle uçak fobisi hariç
Bergman sana da mi cevap vermedi bacim
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.
It's not dutch lmao. It's danish. He sometimes uses some Swedish words though (because it's a Swedish documentary I guess). Also it could be that you watched a newer interview with him. Today he talks slowly even in danish
This video is going too fast.
he must say the wrong things
last movie from LVT was a long line of turds stitched to each other moving in circle... give me a break Lars.
Which one are you talking about? Plz tell me
@@aspiringscientist1616 i think I was talking about Nymphomaniac, but I was wrong. i actually prefer Nymphomaniac to The House That Jack Built which is unbearable. I hate horror movies.
Anything else is unimaginable lol

Ur right tho. Its the saddest thing

A megalomaniac iconoclast!!
Bro come on The house that jack built is a masterpiece though
