About the author
Lars von Trier
19 books52 followersLars von Trier (Danish pronunciation: [ˈlɑːʁs fon ˈtʁiːɐ̯]; born Lars Trier; 30 April 1956) is a Danish film director and screenwriter. He is closely associated with the Dogme 95 collective, although his own films have taken a variety of different approaches. He is known for his female-centric parables and his exploration of controversial subject matter.
Von Trier began making his own films at the age of 11 after receiving a Super-8 camera as a gift, and his first publicly released film was an experimental short called The Orchid Gardener, in 1977. His first feature film came seven years later, The Element of Crime, in 1984. As of 2010, he has directed a further 9 feature films, 5 short films and 4 television productions.
He has been married twice and is currently married to Bente Frøge. Von Trier suffers periodically from depression, as well as various fears and phobias, including an intense fear of flying. As he himself once put it, "Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking".

Nunca había visto a Selma como una clase de "Jesús", y si no fuera por las notas preliminares de este guión no me hubieses dado cuenta, y es que en realidad los similes son muchos, las analogías escenográficas también estan presente durante toda la película. Como dice el autor: "Su vida en la Tierra fue un exilio y Bailar en la Oscuridad su evangelio"
Y sí, Selma es muy adorable y el guión igual de depresivo como lo plasmo lars Von Trier a la pantalla :'(

Smuk fortælling, dog til tider skrevet lidt forvirrende, også lidt barnligt irriterende Selma, men det nok en smagssag.

He leído este guión como parte de una clase en la universidad. Me parece encantador que compartan este tipo de material, ya que para mí, el filme es de mis favoritos.
