Well, you're going beyond unfounded film criticism into long-distance mind-reading. Von Triers doesn't seem to be seeking praise any more than anyone else who makes movies and I don't think that his only intention is to "fiendishly delight himself".

You may consider his last three movies "rubbish", but they were so singularly strange even compared to each other, it's hard to label them self-indulgent. It's not like he makes movies about his own life or something.

Is Nymphomaniac the last of her collaboration with Lars?

She thinks it's their last collaboration.

But with how many movies Tim Burton makes with Johnny Depp or Christopher Nolan with Michael Caine, Lars and Charlotte can certainly do a few more together.

Well, her father was Serge Gainsbourg. I am sure if she could handle living with him, she can handle a few weeks on set with von Trier.

I completely disagree. Her facial features, her physique, her amazing acting ability makers her the perfect match for von Trier's work. I hope they continue to make many more films together and they continue to push the bounds of where is modern art cinema today.

You just don't like von Trier's films. And that's all fine. No one says they are films for the masses. He makes films for a particular niche crowd. What he has made so far he has always always impressed and never disappointed.

I am sure he will make something that is maybe a little more conventional in story and narrative structure and you will be impressed. His last two films pushed the bounds of what is art film.

The Nymph films aren't my favourite. But I do get them. Everyone keeps obsessing over the sex scenes (which I quite frankly fail to understand given that pornography on the internet is very much a major part of modern western society) but they fail to remember the deeper emotional layers of the film. The characters of Uma Thurman and her response to her husbands choice to chose sex addiction over the family and her desperate attempt to keep he family together. The character of Gainsborough and her emotional desperation of when she can't feel anything in her addiction. This is akin to an alcoholic or drug addict unable to get high any more from alcohol or drugs but needs them to survive as a human being. It was a commentary of the de-humanization of nudity and sex in modern society and no one gets it.



Can this really be the end..to be stuck inside of mobile
with the Memphis blues again.

I don't care what drugs he is or isn't on. He makes interesting films that are unlike any others which I appreciate considering the formula based garbage movies that keep getting thrown at us like someone flinging *beep*

Just because you don't like creepy and weird movies doesn't make his movies rubbish.
