The evil in Lars Von Trier
I just saw an amazing documentary by Lars Von Trier, The Five Obstructions. It touches into subjects like: What drives us, what forces us into creative processes, why and how do we do it, why is it painful and why is it satisfying, why is it necessary, why can´t we just relax, why are we afraid of our own work, afraid to work, why do we avoid our own work in fear of disappointing ourselves, why is it hard and painful to work, why do we feel useless, why does even the greatest genious feel useless, why is it hard and to some people plain impossible to create crappy work... I highly recommend this film, and not the least the Jørgen Leth short included on the DVD, go and get it!.
