Also included is a good interview with von Trier, filmed in the late 90s as he has finished up Season 2 of The Kingdom and is prepping for Dancer in the Dark. The interviewer himself is not skilled, but von Trier is at his best rhetorically. Super casual and obviously the successor to Buñuel, Bergman or both.
