..talking 'bout mine, since I haven't yet seen all of his films but here's my take.
Breaking the Waves is pleasant, nothing more.
von Triers persona is bigger than his work.
Shaky cameras do not a good film make.
I think he's manipulative in the bad sense and I don't like that.
I hate Bjork - anyone who would want to work with her and then complain about the difficulty of working with someone like that needs to check up on his relationship with women.
I haven't seen Dogville but based on what I've seen of von triers, I'll wait til I fall n it somewhere.
Nicole Kidman is very good at manipulation, after all, she was married to Cruise.
Not my kind of cinema.
