Lars Von Trier

These days, a Hollywood movie opens around the world the same time it opens in the U.S. — but Americans see fewer foreign movies than ever. Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier talks about his perspective on America. Lars Von Trier is the Danish filmmaker who directed Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark. Like Dancer in the Dark, his new film Dogville is set in America — but it was shot entirely on a soundstage in Europe. Produced by Trey Kay.
