Angelos Koutsourakis's stimulating and thought-provoking monograph on Lars von Trier presents the Danish director as a political filmmaker in the Brechtian tradition. In addition to offering a sophisticated and stimulating analysis of the political aspects of Lars von Trier's films, the monograph also has a number of other qualities that make it an essential read for anyone interested in Lars von Trier. It revalorises von Trier's early films and discusses a number of his lesser-known projects (such as the unfinished, and now aborted, Dimension project); it introduces material to which only Danish readers have previously had access, and it includes Koutsourakis's own interviews with Lars von Trier and Jørgen Leth. Finally, like Bainbridge, Koutsourakis presents a number of von Trier's manifestos from 1984 to 2001, giving the reader a lot of material to engage with -dialectically or not.
[Full of] fresh individual insights ... Koutsourakis has produced a well-researched and innovative study, which will be of use to everyone interested in von Trier's cinema and its relation to Brecht.
Koutsourakis's study succeeds in two ways. It identifies the political dimension of Brecht's artistic practice not in his Marxist ideology or modernist devices but in his aesthetics of negation. Second, it positions von Trier in this tradition as a post-Brechtian filmmaker whose experimental and irritating productions - like Brecht's - politicize the audience's perception of history and the present through their formal properties of radical negation. Unlike many books on von Trier, this richly illustrated study, including interviews and relevant documents, pushes far beyond the biographical into the media and representational aesthetics that distinguish this body of challenging films.
In his book, Angelos Kousourakis takes a new and innovative look at the cinema of Lars von Trier. Using Bertolt Brecht's theories as a key, he analyses the political and ideological aspects of Lars von Trier's oeuvre with sharp intellectual energy. In Koutsourakis's reading, Trier's radicalism is made visible: Lars von Trier as a revolutionary!
