SCFZ poll: Lars von Trier

[sally]

i hate him. i watched dancer in the dark about an hour before getting raped by an actual danish dude, which is not von trier's fault but he can still go fuck himself.

so 0 votes from me.

a couple of films von trier made when he was eleven years old did better than one of his features, the boss of it all (the only one of his feature films that didn't get any votes, besides his graduation film)

I'd gladly have voted for Boss of It All if there were room for more. I'm surprised Manderlay got any votes, but I'm pleased that it did. There's a scene in it that taught me how to read a Von Trier movie. In short, there's always someone in his movies who wants to play God, and it's always a disaster.
