Review of Tranceformer: A Portrait of Lars von Trier (1997) by Jack G — 23 Dec 2008
Insightful portrait of one of the most interesting filmmakers around. Filmed at the time Von Trier was making Breaking The Waves, the documentary is mostly composed of interviews with friends, collaborators and of course the man himself and covers his childhood and early films.
The Danish director comes across as meticulous, charming and eccentric and is very good company. The documentary is offered as an extra on the DVD of The Kingdom, which unfortunately is excluded from the Flixster database on the grounds that it is a TV series.
Suffice it to say that Von Trier's spooky hospital shenanigans are well worth a look.
