The Celebration

“Lars von Trier and Dogme 95 were very, very important to me because I didn't know that someone could make rules around how to make a movie... Dogme 95 is a very important system he created and the first film that was the Dogme 95 approved film was The Celebration. Also they have the full Dogme 95 thing in here. This is like I could actually kind of cry, like this is actually crazy.”

“The Celebration, Festen. Takes me back to the days where I tried to define myself as being the guy who liked Dogme 95 stuff. I'm still that guy, but I don't define myself by it. I just think that the amount of extra business that goes on when making stuff these days, it's useful to remember that you don't have to and that the kind of obstructions that they created for themselves obviously ended up being like insanely fruitful creatively and the product is actually like soap-style drama.”
