"I have splendid plans for a highly erotic film, because my DP on this film [Melancholia], Manuel Claro, at one point voiced a surprising prejudice. He urged me not to fall into the trap that so many aging directors fall into – that the women get younger and younger and nuder and nuder. That’s all I needed to hear. I most definitely intend for the women in my films to get younger and younger and nuder and nuder."

Lars von Trier in an interview about his latest film ‘Melancholia’ and who is possibly making a new film called ‘Nymphomaniac’ (can’t tell if he was being ironic or not.) Watched ‘Melancholia’ on the plane last night. Loved it, although the “end of the world” plot line may have led to my serious heart palpitations when the plane hit a patch of bad weather and started rocking.
