The famous Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier made an unusual confession: after he began to lead a sober lifestyle, he is no longer involved in creativity.

“Today I don’t know if I’ll make new films, and it worries me a lot,” von Trier told the Danish newspaper Politiken. - after all, not a single creative statement that can be attributed to works of art came from a former drug addict or from a former drunkard."

The director noted that all of his films, except for "Nymphomaniac", were created under the influence of drugs and alcohol. In particular, he wrote the script for "Dogville" in the period of 12 days of drug intoxication, and "Nymphomaniac" von Trier created in 18 months.

For 90 days, the director did not use intoxicating substances and went to meetings of Alcoholics Anonymous every day. He himself admits that currently Lars Trier the human has defeated Lars von Trier the director.

Lars von Trier rarely gives interviews after the 2011 Cannes scandal. Then he said that he understands Giler, and for this the leadership of the film festival declared him persona non grata.
