Lars Trier Scene Quotations

I would argue that the aesthetics in flattening out a scene completely are obsolete.

We had shot very long scenes, and no scene was like the other. The actors were allowed to move within the scene as they pleased, and they never needed to follow any determined action.

In the forest scene we had put a mike up a tree to capture the ambient sound... it is like reinventing movie-making, don't you see?
