Lars von Trier is one of my favorite film makers and writers. His work is indescribably gorgeous in more ways than the visual, though the visual is astounding all on its own. I'm always surprised when people are unfamiliar with his work because it is not so obtuse or difficult to find in a video store. If you're looking for a movie or two to watch, then I've linked the trailers to some of my favorite von Trier films below.
( the films are so much better than the trailers, unlike most blockbusters nowadays when the trailer is better than the movie )
On a side note--it's snowing! Jason and I were running errands (i.e. buying gerbil/hamster food) when the white stuff started pouring from the sky. We grabbed some food for dinner to be heated up later and hurried home. People in Albuquerque were never taught how to drive in inclement weather conditions, and I certainly don't want to be rear-ended by someone who doesn't slow down while driving on snow/ice.
