:''This is a Germanic name; the last name is'' von Trier, ''not Trier.'' Lars von Trier (; born Lars Trier; 30 April 1956) is a Danish film director and screenwriter. He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective – an avant-garde filmmaking movement – although his own films have taken a variety of approaches. Known as a provocateur, his work has frequently divided critical opinion. Nevertheless, Trier is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished and influential directors in world cinema.〔(Best film directors 2012 ) in ''The Guardian'' dated 1 September 2012〕 Trier began making films at the age of eleven. He periodically suffers from depression, and also from various fears and phobias, including an intense fear of flying. As he quipped in an interview, "basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking." His first publicly released film was the 1977 experimental short ''The Orchid Gardener'' and his first feature came seven years later with ''The Element of Crime'' (1984). Among many prizes, awards and nominations, he is the recipient of the Palme d'Or (for ''Dancer in the Dark''), the Grand Prix, the Technical Grand Prize (for The Element of Crime) and the Prix du Jury at the Cannes Film Festival. == Early life and education == Lars Trier was born in Kongens Lyngby, north of Copenhagen, the son of Inger Trier (née Høst, 1915—89). He had believed that his biological father was Ulf Trier (1907—78), until his mother revealed to him on her deathbed that he had been conceived as a result of an affair she had with her employer, Fritz Michael Hartmann. His mother considered herself a Communist, while his father was a Social Democrat, and both were committed nudists,〔In "Trier on von Trier", by Stig Bjorkman, 2005〕 and the young Lars went on several childhood holidays to nudist camps. His parents regarded the disciplining of children as reactionary. Trier has noted that he was brought up in an atheist family, and that although Ulf Trier was Jewish, he was not religious. His parents did not allow much room in their household for "feelings, religion, or enjoyment," and also refused to make any rules for their children, with complex effects upon Trier's personality and development. He began making his own films at the age of eleven after receiving a Super-8 camera as a gift, and he continued his independent moviemaking throughout high school.〔 In 1979, Trier enrolled in the National Film School of Denmark. His peers at the film school nicknamed him "von Trier". The name is sort of an inside-joke with the von (German "of" or "from" used as a nobiliary particle), suggesting nobility and a certain arrogance, while Lars is a very common and Trier not an unusual name in Denmark. He reportedly adopted the "von" into his name in homage to Erich von Stroheim and Josef von Sternberg, both of whom also added it later in life. During his time as a student at the school he made the films ''Nocturne'' and ''The Last Detail'', both of which won Best Film awards at the Munich International Festival of Film Schools. In 1983 he graduated with the 57-minute ''Images of Liberation'', which became the first Danish school film to receive a regular theatrical release. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lars von Trier」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
