one of the funny things he says in 'the five obstructions' (funny in light of his upbringing) is tht jorgen leth introduced him to the 'rules of the game'. (von trier talks about film school saying tht they were told lots of things they SHOULD NOT do [i. voice-overs haha 'dogville', ii. other things] and principal amongst this one teacher's idiosyncrasies ws tht if something happened in vienna in 1934 there shouldn't be a cue-card saying 'vienna, 1934'. cut to next scene, opening frame from film-school short: 'vienna, 1934'.) (the crazy teacher wanted him to show a blue-bottle walking over a cheque slowly revealing the information 'vienna, 1934', lars: 'WTF?!')
[lots of other dull uninteresting words here]

It was bowie playing over the top of pictures like this:

and this

rather than "nice portrait" pictures, though maybe these pics have lost their power, if you can call them "nice".
anyway, the film - horrible, misanthropic, misguided and confused in the latter half. but interesting for the first hour or so.
yo athos!

My first reaction to It's All About Love was "What the fuck was that all about?" But then I reread the title, and now I get it. (The Village Voice tells me it's one of those notorious film maudits, like Ivan the Terrible and those three or four Madonna films.)
