Lars von Trier on David Lynch | Louisiana Channel

This guy is so attached to his brand of cynicism. Love his films. His soul though is burdaned by all kinds of toxicity. My he let it go and heal

and lars lars lars
lynch made a masterpiece about studio interference
muholland drive
you know this 😅

dont meet your heros lars

you should know that 😂

Lars has deep admiration for David Lynch.

heartbreaking seeing him like this.
my grandfather passed away last year at 70 cuz of parkinsons

I think his perception of Lynch and his work is just the projection of expectations because he doesn't know Lynch very well. He's always been a man selling ice cream to some extent he said for years he likes to go out for chocolate soft serve malts and milkshakes he likes coffee and cigarettes too so I suppose he "sells" or promotes that also. Twin Peaks certainly did have a conclusion if you just view it as a murder mystery about who killed Laura Palmer we know it was her Father just the whole thing was made into a surreal miniseries so there are many dramas unfolding simultaneously. Lynch likes dream like atmospheres and dreams don't always have satisfactory conclusions either it has to do with the subconscious "the owls are not what they seem" and many things are not as they seem. Some things are as they seem but some don't want to see them as they are in Blue Velvet they just want to see the rose bushes not the compost and bugs beneath just the pretty surface picture. Lynch talks about meditation that way too many things beneath the surface the deeper you dive the bigger the ideas.

Hahaha, perhaps.

ice cream sellers of the world unite and take over

isn't this guy the self proclaimed nazi?

it is bad to see this great artist like this...

The most visually talented filmmaker of the past 30 years

And yet, Trier has not produced anything nearly as exceptional as Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, or Twin Peaks.

it's one of the most terrible disease in the world, it's always painful to know certain facts.

For those wondering: yes, he has Parkinson’s

Tremor or parkinsons

It makes me so sad to see him shake like this. I love you Lars, you have changed my entire life. Like I can't even explain it, he is my favorite filmmaker ever. I hope you hang in there for a little longer, if not that's okay too. I can feel your pain dude.

It's funny that the David Lynch story sounds like a scene out of Riget.

And yet he turned down the third Star Wars . You made a disgusting movie worthy of de Sade about sex. Just cause someone isn’t a nihilist like you doesn’t mean he’s sold out

You do take a chance when you try to meet your idols. I get where he's coming from. I've been interested in TM for some time and hearing Lynch speak so joyfully about it is so tempting but the price tag and the videos on the TM site prove to me that it's a scam. The information on how to learn should be freely given or at least affordable to most.

Get well soon Larsie boy

darn lars, if you had just stayed a minute or two longer you would have been relieved to find that lynch used those friends of jehovah as special ingredients included in the twin peaks pie the audience all thoroughly enjoyed while you were hiding under a desk in another room hungry for coffee, pie and lynch. maybe those fellows weren't even religious followers all, who's to say that lynch didn't meet them behind the dumpster at winkies? and if that's the case, it's a shame you missed such a great time for fun and fellowship because you judged something before verification

I don't know Lars van Trier!

Well that was pretty pointless. Someone who's met lynch accidentally.

He's right
It's called film making
Not life making

I don't really get what he's saying. Is he saying he's admiring Lynch, or is he saying he's overrated, or is he saying he didn't like Jehova's Witnesses? I don't get it. I am hoping he likes Lynch because I love the guy :( And what does he mean he's selling ice cream? I'm so confused

I had Lars Van Trier all wrong. The Shocks in his film served a purpose to his Depression and Catholic beliefs, that what the Characters were doing was not good. The end of days and judgement, when people loose all Morality. The Trilogy of Depression was Biblical and Satirical including the House that Jack Built. I thought you were a terrible person, but after diving into Psychology, Theology and Philosophy, I get it. Johnathan Swift and George Orwell had to explore these dark themes, when they saw the World go to shit. Skoal or Cheers from America. 🥂🍻🍸🍷🍹

Even after hearing and seeing this, I still wholeheartedly love both David Lynch and Lars Von Trier, hope LvT pulls through with whatever medical thing appears to be happening with him, wish him the best. While I personally disagree from what I've seen and the brilliant solutions to mysteries Lynch has cleverly improvised without compromising his interpretive dream logic, I don't hold him on as much of a pedestal to ignore that what Trier saw may have been accurate, but I wasn't there, so I can't tell you if he's right or wrong, only about what I've seen from films. Also, Trier also has a tendency to avoid answers questions in his films ("AntiChrist" does not have a clear-cut answer to it's mystery, like Lynch, he keeps it metaphorical) so I'm surprised to hear he feels this way. Best of luck to all.

I thought revival was absolutely great. I love it more than the first one.

Von Trier is not even very good he just exploits shock and trauma

does he have parkinsons?

The key is to understand who is dreaming by keeping in mind how dream logic works. By doing this you can "paint" the whole work and it becomes more understandable. So my theory is that the one who dreams is either a rapist with some regrets (the finale emphasizes "some" because what he does to the victim is sadistic) or the one who is dreaming is a rape victim and both versions work. Whoever is ,tries to understand where the evil comes from by messing with metaphysics, but I forgive it because we're in a dream world and the feeling of searching,fear is very much emphasized. From Blue Velvet to Inland Empire and Twin Peaks still Lynch asks the question and this time even mocks the simplistic dream logic with the fist guy,etc. You need philosophy,history,economics to understand "where the evil comes from" and is not Judy,lol,but you can feel the need to know it and fight it,the empathy for the victims.It's about the mood and the question. You can't be serious artist and think you can answer something so complex only with art form.Also Lynch looks really angry,with sharp humor and sensitive to the darkness around him.Philadelphia and New York neighborhoods shaped his dark art.I know new age bs/"transcendental meditation" are stupid but the guy may needs it to not go crazy.
Trier is one of the worse directors i have see with his stupid montage and his shaking camera.If you want the meta element you must find something more clever,this is just stupid crudiness.Antichrist has so f good scenario and actors' direction for example and f it with these two elements.

Why is he shaking? He got parkinson?

WTF

I never understood why Lynch, who wasn't pleased with the development of the second season of Twin Peaks, that was forced upon him, continued in the same, even more jumbled, vein in 'Fire walks with me' and in the Twin Peaks revival series. And it is also a fact that Riget resembles Twin Peaks a bit in going from the peculiar to the all compassing supernatural, but Riget is much stronger. Concerning the story: is this the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Furthermore, it pains me to see Lars von Trier in this condition, I have had family members being attained by the same illness, and I wish him all the best and much courage.

RIP LVT...😭😭😭

Why do we care to listen to a abuser, smh. We elevate and raise the worse of us and censor and denigrate the justice seekers.

Danish sounds like you're playing a record backwards

I think von Trier is a much better writer than Lynch. Lynch only writes wacky dialogue of wacky characters, but I don't think he could ever write anything as serious and artistically robust as Dogville. Not in a million years. On the other hand, Lynch is better at visual abstraction, more playful and more dreamy than von Trier.

I'd say almost all of Lynch's films resolve and conclude, resoundingly, hauntingly. And I'd buy his trancendental ice cream over Von Trier's cynical swill any day.

Skønt at Se Trier fortælle om en Film Mager der øjensynlig mager for andre. Sjovt at se en Øjnsynlig selvstændig mand ikke være selvstændig alligevel. Som om Lynch skulle være styret. Lidt som slutningen på Twin Peaks Hvor Agent Cooper’s krop bliver overtaget af en anden entitet…? Hmm Og altså i en Sort Loge med Peaks på Gulvet og Teater gardiner som et skuespil og ikke ægte væren af et rum men noget der foregiver at være noget andet. Men så mange tak til dig Hr Von Trier for at ville sandheden. 👍

loved watching his films which made me understand who I am as a woman. it hurts to see him shaking... he is definitely not a child of this wokeness today.

You can feel anyway you want about the meditation techniques of TM and far be it from me to criticize someone's spiritual practice...but if LVT has really been meditating for 15 years and still got that freaked out by the physical presence of a couple of guys in suits, he's making zero spiritual progress. He should pony up the TM fee, it's sorta designed for rich people like him to feel like they're receiving something of worth.

It's easy to understand: Lynch was selling "transcendental meditation" that day, surrounded by phonies. Von Trier didn't like that. He never said he didn't liked Lynch's work. It's all about that "transcendental meditation" company or corporation.

What a disappointing coward Lars is.

Jesus, look at his interviews in 2011. He looked middle age then and now 70 years old wtf.
