A Quote by Gaspar Noe

Lars von Trier makes funny, radical movies, some packing power. But, he's not a provocateur. He's making adult movies for an adult audience. Pasolini, too. Fassbinder, too.

Adult Audience Funny Makes Making Movies Packing Power Radical Some Too Von

If you asked an 18-year-old what they want to do with their life, and the options are 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he's probably shipping out for 'Transformers.' If you ask a 26-year-old what he wants to do, 'Transformers' or Lars von Trier, he'd probably pick Lars von Trier. So, my sensibilities are changing as I change.

Shia LaBeouf

I don't think that this movie is the kind of movie that a magazine like In Touch even cares about, if you know what I mean. It's a Lars von Trier film. They care about Moneyball, not Melancholia. They care about what I wear to Melancholia premieres; they don't really care about a Lars von Trier film.

Kirsten Dunst

Lars Von Trier is a genius. Every film he makes is so honest and powerful.

Toni Collette

I mean look at Antichrist. He's not making films to be liked by everyone, so why is this so surprising coming from Lars von Trier?

Kirsten Dunst

People love to talk about how the '70s are the only time they made movies about characters, and adult movies, and complicated people. But in the '80s, they got away with some of those too.

Elisabeth Shue

I do think there's a smaller audience that's looking for something that's a little more adult and a little more nuanced [than many Hollywood movies]. At the same time, I think everyone who's making movies hopes to appeal to the widest audience possible.

Joe Swanberg

Now the time comes that I decided I only will do art films, basically. In a way, very similar to Isabella Rossellini. I prefer to work only with people like Lars von Trier or Guy Maddin or Gus Van Sant, just to name a few. But also there's bills to pay, and sometimes you have to make a movie. So my decision from now on is art movies, or movies which are commercial, but for real money. That is my decision.

Udo Kier

It's too expensive, that's the thing nobody wants to talk about. It is too expensive to make movies. That's not true, it is too expensive to market movies. Making movies is not.

Kevin Smith

I think you either get along with Lars [von Trier] or you really don't and I really got along with him. I wasn't scared because I talked to Bryce Dallas Howard about Lars.

Kirsten Dunst

I would amputate my toes to work with Lars von Trier again.

Bryce Dallas Howard

Lars von Trier is a very good storyteller. He's like an H. C. Andersen for adults.

Stellan Skarsgard

Lars von Trier is not not somebody who is known for conducting a normal press conference ever!

Kirsten Dunst

I love working with Lars [von Trier]! I've worked with him three times. I did the narration of Dogville and Manderlay.

John Hurt

If people remember me for any scene in a Lars von Trier film, I'm extremely honoured and forever grateful.

Mia Goth

I believe in making movies very inexpensively; I think that way too much money is spent on making movies. Enough movies are being made, but not enough experimental ones.
