Filmotomy Podcast 70: Lars von Trier

Bianca Garner returns to the fray to host Filmotomy Podcast episode 70. And just in time as we give Lars von Trier a bit of time, as it is his birthday today. Robin Write and Jonathan Holmes join Bianca to calibrate their thoughts on the man, the artist, and that big mouth of his. Discussion lands on any of his popular movies, his themes, his behind the camera antics, as well as his public persona.
