I do read both literature and classics! :) I find that they feed my soul and often gives me something to think about and learn from. I can also enjoy their skills in writing. I also enjoy discovering the many layers there usually are in good literature. Other books may be good books and...

I understand what you mean by not reading all books by an author at once. But I have never felt that I would become tired of their books. I am quite the oppisit. I dont seem to be able to get enought words from the authors hand. Its like entering their world and if I enjoy it and learn from it...

Hi, I thought I would share my reading projects with you. Whenever I come across an interesting writer, I tend to read almost everything written by the Author. At the moment I am reading Dostojevsky. I have read "The double", am reading "The idiot" and have "Poor People" + "The...

Michel, do you mean black humour like Monty Phytons "Life of Brian" kind of thing, just in books?? Flower

Yes try out the library! brainwave??

Allright then! I havent seen Dogville or Manderly. I got a bit tired of his film along the way. I think I needed a little break. Flower

I thought I would make a thread about this danish writer. Jemima Aslana mentioned him to me in another thread. I have known for a long time that he has been writing books but I had never read any of his books. Now I have. At first I got a bit dissapointed, but then again I am reading...

Manderly should be out, also where you live???

Dogme95 was a project 4 men made in Denmark about how to make films more interesting and in order to challenge themselves. They set up different kind of rules for a film to be called Dogme film. They are known as the dogme brothers now. Lars von Trier, Thomas Vinterberg, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen...

Martin, Do you know anything about dogme 95?

Yes I did get your mail, thank you! ;) Maybe you could go in a video shop and rent them? sometimes over here they also sell videos/dvds and you can get lucky and get old films very cheap. Recently I went into my local very small bookshop and she had put Auster´s latest book on display...

Over here he is very well known. I dont think you could walk into a bookshop where they dont have at least one Auster book for sale. Maybe its something in his books which seem to appeal very much to Danes, I dont know. I just got an email from his Danish publisher that his daughter has made...

I find it interesting that you had a notion of his relationship with Denmark. Yep! I have both "Smoke" and "Blue in the face" on video. Have seen them several times. They are very funny. He has made another one which I havent seen though.

This is so great and so strange at the same time! To see just how famous Danish filmmakers are and that Lars even got his own forum. :D I know we have made many good film for some time now but its strange to listen to how famous people have become. Remember we are a very small country with...

I got it now! "No distance left to run" by Blur! Thats the one Thomas Vinterberg filmed.

I think that Thomas Vinterberg is a great filmmaker. He is very good at telling/expressing an emotion with pictures. Hope it makes sense. The video he made, got a lot of attention, as he filmed the blur while they were actually sleeping. The video is very intense. Forgot the title of the song...

:D Now you get my list. I have seen: Forbrydelsens element Europa Riget 1 + 2 (was on the danish tv) Breaking the waves Idioterne Dancer in the dark I havent seen his two last movies. I somehow got a bit tired of him. But I would loove to see "De fem benspænd" as he has made this film...

Anyone seen other films by Thomas Vinterberg? or maybe the video he created for the english band blur? Flower

I havent seen Dogville and his new one. But besides that, I think I have seen them all. Breaking the waves being my favorite. Dancer in the dark, I think Bjørk did a wonderfull job acting and the story is rather good. Flower

All right then, I have seen the films made by the "dogme brothers", excepts Christian´s ! ;) + Italiens for begyndere, Elsker dig for evigt, Se til venstre, der er en svensker. Flower
