Book Description
An opinionated, revealing collection of interviews with the mercurial Danish director of Dogville, Dancer in the Dark, and Breaking the Waves.
The only director to have accomplished the unique feat of premiering all of his features at Cannes, Lars von Trier is the unabashed prince of the European avant-garde. The grand ambitions of his career mirror those of an earlier generation of directors, such as von Sternberg and von Stroheim, a similarity the director openly acknowledges, having affected the lordly 'von' in his name as a tribute while still in film school. From his highly stylized debut, Element of Crime, to the universally acclaimed Breaking the Waves and controversial musical Dancer in the Dark, von Trier has constantly challenged the boundaries of contemporary film, and this thoughtful and engagingly humorous assortment of interviews with fellow director Stig Björkman reveals the motivation behind his most lasting and controversial innovations-most notably the back-to-basics Dogme 95 movement, as well as the propless, setless Dogville, which debuted at Cannes in 2003 to lavish praise. Accompanied by several 'manifestos' which explicate his most experimental films, Trier on von Trier promises a definitive portrait of "the most brilliant director working in cinema today."

Must read book.......2006-11-10
When you watch Trier's films you get some sort of another level cinema or I should say the genial cinema. Well, the book is about the man who makes it to be on this level.
Subject to Inspection.......2006-04-20
A lovely book. Allowed me to meet Von Trier at an unadulteratedly close range. There is a genuine and creative rapport between Von Trier and Bjorkman, and arising from this are very intimate reveals of Von Trier's impressionable childhood, his inner drive and vision, his spirit of abandon, and of course his almost miraculous sense of fascination. An outsider with great powers.
Book Description
Written with humor and insight, this mixture of history, analysis, and reportage sheds fascinating insider light on the eight-year-old Dogme film movement, examining the subject from multiple perspectives. Covered in detail is Dogme's genesis, when, in 1995, Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier, acclaimed director of Breaking the Waves and Dancer in the Dark, and three fellow Danish directors swore to reject the norm of slick, emotionally manipulative, high-concept, and bombastic movie productions. Explained is the Dogme95 philosophy, which entails a return to basic filmmaking through the use of natural lighting and handheld cameras, and the refusal to use special effects, soundtracks, and movie sets. The films and filmmakers of the Dogme movement are discussed, including Thomas Vinterberg (The Celebration), Harmony Korine (Julien Donkey-Boy), Lone Scherfig (Italian for Beginners), and Susanne Bier (Open Hearts). Dogme's debt to previous film waves is explored, as is the impact Dogme has had on current trends in cinema and on today's young filmmakers.

great overview of Dogme 95 movement.......2003-09-29
This book is a great, in-depth look at the Dogme 95 movement. It's the first book I've seen that attempts to cover most of the Dogme films, as well as precursors to the Dogme movement (Godard, Warhol, etc). Jack Stevenson does a great job keeping it interesting, and keeping his perspective on the whole thing too. It's fun to read about the more well-publicized Dogme films like The Celebration and The King is Alive, as well as lesser known but worthy efforts such as Resin and The Sparkle Room. This book makes me want to track down a bunch of films. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Dogme (or Lars von Trier, or indie film in general).
Book Description
With the international success of Breaking the Waves (1996) and Dancer in the Dark (2000), Lars von Trier has established himself as one of the most provocative and daring film directors working in cinema today. A central figure in the conception of Dogme 95, he made the movement's most controversial film, The Idiots (1998), and has played a leading role in the recent resurgence of Danish cinema. Yet despite his success and notoriety, von Trier remains something of an enigma. Famous for not playing the game, he has been hailed as the new Godard by some and an attention-seeking charlatan by others.
Jack Stevenson uncovers the manic genius of Lars von Trier, assessing his life, work, and critical reception. The book follows von Trier from his early life as a troubled son of "cultural radical" parents through to his student days at the Danish Film School, diligently spent making films that were as innovative and disturbing as his later features have proved to be.
Customer Reviews:
Cannes it be true?.......2004-05-02
This is a very enjoyable, well researched book. Any fan of Lars von Trier will enjoy reading this even if it means re-reading information they may have come across in the past. Though the Cannes film festival has been a repeated rite of passage for the director, this book obsessively follows von Trier's relationship with the festival as if it were the only event that mattered in his career. Nevertheless, Stevenson does go to great lengths to cover all aspects of von Trier's life, professional and personal in equal measure.
Overall, this is an excellent book that provides a witty, insightful view into the mind of a very important artist.

A great script and more.......1998-01-22
This is the script, written by the film's Danish director Lars von Trier. A wonderful preface by Swedish film writer Stig Bjorkman, an article by photographer Per Kirkeby, and an introduction by Von Trier. Photos and film info, even the locations list. The story is compelling, obsessional, intensely carnal, heart-breaking, and critical of doctrinaire religion. Von Trier claims that, quite simply, it is a story about "good." He even advances the theory that love -- physical, sexual love -- can heal. Not a welcome notion in Calvinist Northern Scotland (or many other places, for that matter), the setting for the story. It was interesting to see how von Trier's much-touted (by the actors) commitment to improvisation allowed last-minute script changes -- and there were many. The book is beautifully assembled, translated gracefully from the original Danish. It's definitely great.

Required Reading.......2003-12-16
The latest title in the ongoing University of Mississippi Conversations With Filmmakers series complies interviews with noted director and enfant terrible Lars Von Trier. This book is a fine addition to any film library, and shows us a great deal about Von Trier. It stops with "Dancer In The Dark" and does not cover "Dogville." As of yet, the U of M press does not issue revised or updated editions of their books, so do not expect to see a second edition. Otherwise, this book does well in digging up obscure interviews (several never published before and others translated from the original language for the first time)and establishing a solid chronology to work with. The book even contains an interview with Von Trier when he was a young child actor (the lead role, of course) on a popular television show.
It makes one happy to see the University of Mississippi press publishing this volume on a truly unique filmmaker, as opposed to pretentious bourgeois "mainstream" directors like Quentin Tarantino and Stephen Soderbergh (both who hold titles in the collection-- how regretful). One learns through reading Von Trier's philosophy on filmmaking that he is indeed a great thinker.

Product Description
"En marzo dee 1995 dos jovenes directores de cine daneses, Lars von Trier y Thomas Vinterberg, redactaban un Manifiesto contra la artificiosidad y la estandarizacion de la produccion cinematografica actual, contra los generos y los efectos especiales, y contra la extendida idea, en fin, de que si algo no es como LA GUERRA DE LAS GALAXIAS no es una pelicula. Asi nacio Dogma 95, un movimiento de vanguardia europea en una epoca sin vanguardias, al que no tardaron en unirse otros cineastas daneses y de todo el mundo y que dio como fruto una serie de peliculas polemicas e influyentes como CELEBRACION, LOS IDIOTAS o MIFUNE".
Book Description
Nearly half of all Americans believe in the existence of extraterrestrials, and many are also convinced that aliens have visited earth at some point in history. Included among such popular beliefs is the notion that so-called ancient astronauts (visitors from outer space) were responsible for historical wonders like the pyramids. Shocking new evidence proves that the entire genre of ancient astronaut books is based upon fictional horror stories, whose author once wrote that he never wished to mislead anyone.
In this entertaining and informative book, Jason Colavito traces the origins of the belief in ancient extraterrestrial visitors to the work of horror writer H. P. Lovecraft (1890-1937). This amazing tale takes the reader through fifty years of pop culture and pseudoscience highlighting such influential figures and developments as Erich von Däniken (Chariots of the Gods), Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods), Zecharia Sitchin (Twelfth Planet), and the Raelian Revolution. The astounding and improbable connections among these various characters are revealed, along with the disturbing consequences of Lovecraft's "little joke" for modern science and public knowledge.
Beyond documenting Lovecraft's influence on ancient astronaut theories and Raelian cloning efforts, Colavito also argues that the appeal of such modern myths is a troubling sign in an age when science is having its greatest success. He suggests that at the dawn of the 21st century Western society is witnessing a deep-seated erosion of Enlightenment values that are the basis of the modern world.
Customer Reviews:
Interesting but uneven.......2006-06-11
I have mixed feelings about this book. It is well written and thoughtful, but sometimes the reasoning is a bit strained. Like many of the "ancient astronaut" folks that he is debunking, Colavito seems to think that showing a possible connection (i.e., between Lovecraft and ancient astronaut theory) is proof of a connection.
As the previous reviewer said, this book is almost like two books, one about Lovecraft and one about the "ancient astronaut" theorists. The author has an obvious passion for Lovecraft, and he does a good job showing how Lovecraft drew on the pseudo-scientific pop culture of his day (Blavatsky, Charles Fort, etc.) as a source for his fiction. In other respects, what he has to say about Lovecraft is not new or original.
His debunking of "extraterrestrial pop culture" is convincing and well researched, but the connections he draws with Lovecraft are a bit strained.
The strength of this book is its description of the broader cultural milieau from which both Lovecraft and the "ancient astronaut" theorists drew - a blend of pseudo-science, science fiction, alternative religion and popular culture which has influenced everything from the X Files to UFO cults to supermarket tabloids to movies such as "Stargate." The book's weakness is that its central thesis, that Lovecraft is the main source of all this, is way oversimplified. But in spite of its flaws, Colavito's book is worth reading.
Large sections, but not all, are very enlightening.......2006-06-04
The Cult of Alien Gods is really two books in one. First of all it's an introduction to master writer H.P. Lovecraft and especially the mythos about the sinister extraterrestrial known as Cthulhu, but it's also a study of the rise of the ancient astronaut movement along with the ideas about lost civilizations, where authors such as Erich von Däniken, Graham Hancock, and Zecharia Sitchin became the most famous representatives.
According to Colavito, it's Lovecraft - the somewhat still mysterious gentleman from Providence - and his stories about extraterrestrials visiting Earth aeons ago that the entire genre later known as ancient astronauts is based upon. Proponents of this genre claimed that sometime way back in ancient history, Earth was visited by extraterrestrials who were mistaken for gods and among other things helped build the amazing Egyptian pyramids. For people who don't know anything about Lovecraft Colavito - himself a fan of Lovecraft - offers a nice introduction to the mysterious man and his ground-breaking penmanship, details where he picked up his influences, how his literary masterpieces were received by his peers, and much, much more.
Now this introduction is perfectly fine, and Colavito definitely deserves some praise for his tribute to Lovecraft. But, the main thesis behind the book is not quite as convincing. Colavito insists that Lovecraft and his fiction is indeed what von Däniken and the rest based their respective works upon, and even though he on several occasions shows how something that Lovecraft had written decades earlier were later taken as genuine facts, he still never manages to actually prove that without Lovecraft there would have been no ancient astronauts.
But that doesn't really matter, since large sections of the book aren't about Lovecraft anyway. Instead Colavito focuses on debunking what he himself once upon a time believed wholeheartedly in. However, over the years he became more and more skeptical to the amazing claims that von Däniken and his allies put forth, and thus the book contains numerous exposures of how the "evidence" that millions of people all over the world chose to believe in, and still believe in, is by and large erroneous. Sometimes they are even straight out lies and hoaxes. This exposure is, though, to be completely honest, not that great of an accomplishment, since the proponents of the ancient astronauts have been debunked time and again by a multitude of professional scholars. Still, Colavito is apparently on a vendetta against the ones who mislead him, and the passion behind his words makes the well worth reading..
The criticism never really digs deep and only chosen parts of the authors' books are criticised, but the purpose of this exposé is to show how the theories behind the ancient astronauts collapse as soon as they are thoroughly investigated, and this Colavito does with a vengeance. At the end of the book Raël - or His Holiness as he prefers to be addressed as these days - and his Raëlian Revolution makes an appearance, and again Colavito is highly successful in his debunking.
The Cult of Alien Gods failed to convince me that Lovecraft is the founding father of the ancient astronaut theory. Fortunately, however, the book contained a whole lot more than that, and when it was all over I had truly enjoyed reading the book.
I therefore have no other choice but to congratulate Colavito for a debunking-job well done.
Lovecraft's influence on 50 years of pop culture.......2006-04-13
Fans of fantasy/horror writer H.P. Lovecraft must add THE CULT OF ALIEN GODS: H.P. LOVECRAFT AND EXTRATERRESTRIAL POP CULTURE to their reading lists: it traces the origins of the belief to Lovecraft's writings in the late 1800s, surveying fifty years of pop culture and including the works of Von Daniken and other alien speculators as it documents Lovecraft's influence on these theories. Jason Colavito is a freelance writer who has written for Skeptic Magazine and others: his study reveals some important connections.
That is not dead which can eternal lie . . ........2005-12-03
. . . And with strange aeons even death may die.
In this interesting book Jason Colavito answers a question I've wondered about ever since I first read H.P. Lovecraft. (Question: What's the golden age of science fiction? Answer: Thirteen. But that's not the question I'm talking about.)
What I wondered was, why did I like Lovecraft's own stories but rarely enjoy any of the fiction of "the Lovecraft circle" - - people who corresponded with Lovecraft and wrote stories in his Cthulhu mythos. (The only collection of "Lovecraftian" stories I've ever really liked is the anthology Cthulhu 2000.) Why are storytellers and literary scholars like Joyce Carol Oates (she edited an anthology of Lovecraft recently) still moved by Lovecraft's stories? Why did the Library of America (who've published Mark Twain and Philip Roth) just publish a volume of Lovecraft?
Colavito describes Lovecraft's loose conception of "the Old Ones" or "the Elder Gods" (alien creatures of immense power, not as strictly defined or set in a hierarchy as they later became), as opposed to the alien creatures in the stories of Frank Belknap Long, August Derleth, and others. (These later stories always struck me as mostly comic-book horror.)
Unfortunately now Lovecraft's work is now mostly a source of humorous or insider references like "Arkham Asylum" in Batman comics and movies. (I have to admit I'm juvenile enough to have laughed the first time I saw a Campus Crusade for Cthulhu ad.)
Colavito brings out a connection to Lovecraft that never occurred to me. Normally Lovecraft is categorized with Edgar Allan Poe and other nineteenth-century horror writers. But he may also have influenced high-tech Cold War science fiction, like John W. Campbell's story "Who Goes There?" and the movie Howard Hawks made from it, The Thing from Another World.
Campbell published Lovecraft in the magazine he edited, Astounding Stories, and "Who Goes There?" is similar to one of Lovecraft's best stories, "At the Mountains of Madness." Both are set in the Antarctic. In "At the Mountains of Madness" a man finds remnants of an alien civilization, and in "Who Goes There?" scientists and military types uncover a flying saucer and the thing from another world that it brought to Earth tens of thousands of years before.
You can make another interesting connection - - from Lovecraft to Campbell to Howard Hawks to John Carpenter. Carpenter has always been fascinated by The Thing from Another World (it's the movie Laurie Strode and the children she's baby-sitting watch on TV in Carpenter's slasher classic, Halloween). And Carpenter himself remade the Howard Hawks film as The Thing, one of Carpenter's best films. But Carpenter's The Thing had the bad luck to be released at the same time as Steven Spielberg's E.T. And in the early eighties Americans wanted cuddly salvation-bringing aliens that could be cross-merchandised with fast-food chains and candy companies, not shape-changing flesh-eaters whose message was that our technology might not save us.
The British director Nigel Kneale (Quatermass and the Pit) and Howard Hawks are two of Carpenter's biggest influences. (Carpenter has remade Hawks's Rio Bravo every possible way EXCEPT as a western - - see Assault on Precinct 13, Escape from New York, Escape from L.A., and Ghosts of Mars).
But Lovecraft is another of Carpenter's influences: Carpenter's film Prince of Darkness shows a realm of evil that intrudes on our universe, and In the Mouth of Madness nearly steals Lovecraft's title and definitely appropriates his mood (with a touch of Stephen King).
The Cult of Ancient Gods is even more interesting as social history than as literary history. Colavito shows how he thinks Lovecraft's ideas influenced people like Erich von Daniken (Chariots of the Gods) and Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods), who saw evidence of "ancient astronauts" all over the world. Colavito sees a connection between Lovecraft and the Heaven's Gate cultists who committed suicide in 1998 when the Hale-Bopp comet appeared, and another connection to the Raelians (another UFO religion) that claimed to have cloned a human baby a few years ago.
Personally, I think Lovecraft influenced fiction more than he did "alternative scientists" like Graham Hancock, but ideas in (often bad) science fiction were there to be appropriated by fantasy writers and conmen both. The Heaven's Gate cult died in uniforms meant to look a little like Star Trek costumes. The original Battlestar Galactica TV show in the late seventies took images and ideas from Erich von Daniken.
There was one thing about Colavito's perspective I disagreed with - - a criticism of what he calls "the Age of Relativity," where "[e]verything was open to interpretation" and "[e]very group was now entitled to its own history: black history, women's history, and gay history. There was no longer human history." It's sounds as though Harold Bloom had been reading Weird Tales instead of the Western Canon.
Again quoting Colavito: ". . . Indeed as the education system gradually broke down in the twentieth century, ever-larger numbers of people were leaving school ignorant of methodology and indoctrinated only in diversity and political correctness. They lacked the tools to understand or to think, and they resented the educated elite who told them what was right or true. . . ."
I think the current fad for criticizing "political correctness" is often an excuse to return to old kinds of racist or sexist discrimination. (Colavito is not a racist or sexist. He makes that clear in his book.)
But two points on the above. (1) This is the end of a paragraph where Colavito describes how "ancient-astronaut" theory popularizers like Graham Hancock can bamboozle people without any scientific education. And when you see how many people believe in so-called "intelligent design" - - to the point where school boards are willing to sabotage the education of their own children - - you can't argue.
But (2) being "indoctrinated . . . in diversity" means that we teach our children that other cultures ARE just as valuable as the Europeans who founded the United States on the genocide of the indigenous people and slavery of black Africans. And "political correctness" means IT IS NOT acceptable to demean women, minorities, gays, or anyone else who's different from you because you're in the majority. Blacks, women, and gays do have histories of their own. The Trent Lotts of the world really do think things would have been better if the Voting Rights Act hadn't been passed and if blacks had been kept out of colleges and if women were kept in their place.
I almost put the book down after reading Colavito's first, biographical, chapter, describing how Jacques Barzun's From Dawn to Decadence influenced him, and showed him how the "rot had set in shortly after" the revolutions of the eighteenth century. But I'm glad I kept reading. The history is fascinating and the writing style is very entertaining.
Just as the rationalist H.P. Lovecraft didn't mean for people to take his "Yog-Sothothery" seriously, maybe Colavito is throwing out ideas for us to chew on. (Remember: "Cthulhu saves - - in case he gets hungry later.")

Great Book.......2007-09-19
This is a pretty good book. It focuses on writings though. If you would like to have a book that speaks on communication in general, then I would suggest "How to Use Power Phrases" by Meryl Runion or optimally both books. The examples in "Power Phrases" are verbal examples, but can be used in both situations. "How to say it" should be titled "How to put it in writing"
Great Graduation Gift.......2007-06-22
I believe the ability to write a thoughtful and effective letter is an important skill to have, and one that many younger people today are not developing due to all of our electronic communications. I got this for a graduation gift and it has truly helped me become better at writing good letters for my new "adult" life, from thank you letters to job correspondence and more.
How to say it.......2007-05-12
This is a must have for anyone who writes, talks, or otherwise communicates with other people. I use it all the time for writing letters.
Great Reference Book.......2007-02-02

The best so far.......2006-07-14
A lot has been written already about this book, so I would like to concentrate on one major feature of this manual.
I have several books about letter writing and this is the one I most often use and whoever I showed this book to wanted to buy it. Books of this kind fall into two broad categories: 1. short explanations and a lot of sample letters. 2. long explanations and a reasonable amount of sample letters. This book, however, shows that something more can be done. I usually have the problem with the first category that some authors tend to empty their Document folders from the work computers into a book and write some clever remarks as an introduction to them. Rosalie Maggio's book introduces methodology into the editing process: she gives you useful advice and also warning what not to do, but after that the topics are built up from word level gradually through phrases, sentences, paragraphs until you get to the actual sample letters. This way, you get much more useful material than you could get only with sample letters.
