B Movie

Gil Scott-Heron, 1949–2011.

The King of Comedy

From Andrew O'Hehir's Salon interview with Lars von Trier, conducted a day or two after von Trier was banned from the Cannes Film Festival.

You know, I had a very funny conversation with Martin Scorsese, who is a very, very polite man. He said, "The beginning of Antichrist was so beautiful." You know, the prelude to my movie. And I said to him, "Yes, but it was black-and-white and slo-mo. How can you go wrong?" And then I said to myself, "Oh, shit—this is the man that made Raging Bull!" But he laughed and said, "You are right."
