Re: Criterions Out of Print (OOP) #552 by yoloswegmaster » Fri Jun 14, 2024 2:57 pm. Not much of a surprise since MUBI acquired the rights to 11 of LvT's films, including this one. I would also expect the Europa trilogy to go OOP within the next couple of years. DeprongMori. Joined: Fri Apr 04, 2014 6:59 am. Location: San Francisco.
Re: Lars von Trier. #177 by Der Ungrund » Tue Oct 17, 2023 4:43 pm. No one's mentioned it yet, but the new Breaking the Waves 4K uses the same restoration as the criterion, but it's a significant improvement.

And von Trier fully celebrating that triumph!

The "Bell shot" at the end of Breaking the Waves has nothing to do with taking something beautiful and saying its "crap". As the film is pitching light and dark religion (as defined by Dreyer) up against eachother, von Trier ends the film with Bess going to heaven and God ringing the bells to signal her arrival, thereby not only saying, that ...
As expected, it looks at “playful rascal” (as collaborator Tom Elling describes him) Lars von Trier and his work up to the point the documentary was filmed, from film school to his Europe trilogy and up through his latest film at the time, Breaking the Waves. The Kingdom likewise gets a mention.
