Tranceformer: A Portrait Of Lars Von Trier (1998) **

A documentary about Denmark's most famous contemporary filmmaker, co-founder of the Dogma 95 movement. It traces his career from the early, quite pretentious stylistic exercises like "Element Of Crime" and "Epidemic", to the later successes like "Europa", "The Kingdom" and "Breaking The Waves". An interesting portrait of a truly original and unbelievably excentric genius.
