“Lars is in good spirits and is being treated for his symptoms. Work on completing Riget Exodus will continue as planned,” the statement said. Riget: Exodus is a series that continues the saga started in the 1990s with Riget (Kingdom), which was very popular in Denmark and will be screened out of competition at the Venice Film Festival this month.

Centropa explained that due to illness Lars von Trier will only participate “on a limited basis” in interviews related to the premiere of his next work. The producer justified the news about Parkinson’s disease to avoid possible speculation about his health before the premiere.

Co-founder of the so-called “Dogma” movement, von Trier is one of the most prestigious living European directors with a solid 30-year career behind him, in which he directed films such as Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark (Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival), Dogville, Antichrist and Melancholy.

Lars von Trier fears he won’t be able to film sober

Danish director Lars von Trier fears that after giving up alcohol and drugs, he will no longer be able to make films. “Former alcoholics and drug addicts never engaged in creative expression of artistic value,” von Trier told the paper. politician.

It was the first interview he had given since Cannes festival organizers excluded him from the event in 2011 after he joked that he was a Nazi at a press conference promoting his film Melancholia.

The interview made the front page of a Danish newspaper and ran seven pages inside. Von Trier, who shocked audiences with sexually explicit films such as Antichrist and Nymphomaniac, said he would stay sober for 90 days starting Sunday and attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings every day.

The newspaper collected a few words of von Trier, where he assured that he used to drink a bottle of vodka every day, but for creativity he combined it with various types of drugs.

“I cannot recommend anyone to do the same. This is very dangerous and stupid in every way,” he said.

A father of four, married to a teacher, he said in an interview that he had reached a point in his life where he had to choose between the man von Trier and the director von Trier.
