Lars Trier Image Quotations

When we later cut down the scenes, our only thought was to increase the intensity in the performance, without regard as to whether the image is in focus.

Before, I worked with a storyboard, and that meant that the image wasn't good. There was a lot of things that you had to live up to.

Perhaps it sounds pretentious, but in one way or another I hope that you can see that every image contains an idea. It certainly sounds presumptuous-and perhaps it's also untruthful. But as I see it, every image and every cut is thought out. They are not there by chance.
