Most people: Ingmar Bergman was a true genius. Lars: *M A S T U R B A T I O N*

this is simultaneously the most honest & provocative interview of an artist about an influence i've ever seen. lars is uncompromising i fucking love it

He’s an honest child in a grown man’s body.

This is the greatest thing ever

Wow ! This interview was just like his films. It went places nobody does

Two of my favorite directors. Didn't know how much influence Bergman had on Trier, but it's not exactly surprising.

I come here regularly to have a good laugh

This makes me feel as if there is sanity in the world

He's so great and honest it's just mind-blowing!

thaanks Was looking for it with english subtitles for a long time. Oh, how I love him ((

I ADORE THIS INTERVIEW

If only we would all speak so frankly as Lars here.

Thanks for uploading. I observe in LVT both in his work and his words repeatedly a search for a father figure, (even if imaginary and/or mired in conflict, disappointment, anger) even though it’s not as often discussed as, say his nihilism, narcissism or misogyny. It’s here with Bergman. It’s the five obstructions. It’s in so many of his films as a kind of father/therapist/listener character...

Very good observation. I have not seen Lars' films, but I sensed some resentment/bitterness in this interview--particularly the anecdote of his step-father. However, it was juxtaposed with some other rather perceptive insights--so it cannot be said that he condemned Bergman.

​@@newengland1666 to you and the original poster; about the step father, something that wasn't translated/subbed - They translated it as stepfather but he said "my father, that turned out not to be my father". I imagine that's a heavy thing. Finding out your dad is not your dad would only compound that lack of father figure even more. Thought it was worth pointing out since you both brought up the father figure.

i 1000% agree with lars sbout bergman - i have the same ups and downs like about fanny and of course the same immense admiration. as any serious film fan would.

te quiero agradecer mucho el subtitulo ESP. Alguien sabe donde puedo ver este documental subtitulado? muchas gracias

Does anyone agree with him on Fanny and Alexander? I think it's wonderful. Yes, it brings together all his obsessions in one 5-hour film (really a tv mini-series). I don't think it's artistically compromised for the sake of appeal to a broad audience. Not at all. It just happens to be a good story, with some lovable characters and a happy ending.

I get what he’s saying, but I also don’t totally agree. To me it felt more like Bergman just got to a point in his career where he just didn’t care about how “intellectual” or however he came off as, and instead just wanted to fully express himself without constraint, if that makes any sense.

The interviewer is Swedish so she probably didn't understand him half the time and he tried to accommodate with some attempts at Swedish but kept forgetting while ranting. Happens all the time in the never ending miscommunication between Swedes and other Scandinavians.

@JakeGittes84

Swedes largely understand Danish but certain words are totally different and eloquent Danes will adjust their speech accordingly.

his ambivalence toward the end is fascinating, but seems pretty childish and egomaniacal, and i suppose a lot of successful creative people use those qualities to their advantage as artists.

@@aspiringscientist1616 i think I was talking about Nymphomaniac, but I was wrong. i actually prefer Nymphomaniac to The House That Jack Built which is unbearable. I hate horror movies.

Ironically Lars von Trier has become exactly what he criticizes, his use of the word masturbation is him projecting. Lars became a self indulgent "best off Trier" director who spells it out for his audience on the audio track in the most insulting fashion. I literally just watch his new films out of morbid curiosity to see Triers progression from once great radical filmmaker into complete pseudo-intellectual wankery

Yeah. Ever since he got sober he seems to have nothing interesting to say. I had really fucking high hopes for NYMPHOMANIAC but it was overlong and wasted a solid premise and format. I did like ANTI-CHRIST but I wonder what his original scripted version would have been like had he not had to re-write it because of the leak.

Bergman said of Von Trier "he doesn't even know how much of a genius he is" coming from Bergman that's about as high a compliment as you could ever get

So now Lars are 60+ years old and he will go to a limited creativity just as his " hero" Ingemar -thats wahts happens to men at 60 but i guess guys like Lars belive they drive a 100 miles an hour all life on the freeway to heaven . This intewiev seems to point at his "limited understanding at that age - and he lost his scrouples as every man at age 50+

Bergman did Autumn Sonata then Life of the Marionettes and Fanny and Alexander between the age of 60-65 and then he wrote 3 film scripts after that at age 72-80, besides directing 8 (!) theater plays for TV . The last one "Saraband" in the year 2000 when Bergman was 82 years old, before he quit for good
