Lars von Trier/Quotes
"[...] [T]rue values entail suffering. That’s the way we think. All in all, we tend to view melancholia as more true. We prefer music and art to contain a touch of melancholia. So melancholia in itself is a value. Unhappy and unrequited love is more romantic than happy love. For we don’t think that’s completely real, do we?"—Lars von Trier, from an interview by Nils Thorsen
"No matter how much you might hate Lars von Trier, don’t forget that he hates himself more."—Bilge Ebiri, Deconstructing Lars: "The House That Jack Built" Is an Empty Apologia From Von Trier (Village Voice review)
