Lars von Trier is a Danish film-maker and screenwriter, known for his dark and intense movies. He has been known to set his own genre in the film industry by focusing on darker and bolder side of stories and characters. Having being given a camera at the age of 11, Trier started his journey of film-making in early 1980s. He studied film-making at National Film School of Denmark and thereafter began directing movies. His movie ‘The Element of Crime’ won him many accolades and awards for screenplay and direction. It also earned him a nomination at Cannes Film Festival for the very first time. With his movie ‘Breaking the Waves’ Trier began to showcase bolder characters and stories. This was in news for its unconventional plot and bold scenes. But, Trier faced trouble when he experimented with the movie ‘Nymphomaniac’. Due to the explicit scenes in the movie, Trier had to make several cuts in it. It is his exceptionally bolder vision that has made the Danish film-maker the eminent director that he is today.
