| Summary: | This chapter presents excerpts from two interviews conducted by the author. The first took place on September 19, 2006, two days before the premiere of Lars von Trier's The Boss of It All at the Copenhagen International Film Festival. The second took place on October 3, 2007, which followed up the discussion of The Boss of It All begun in the first interview. Topics covered in these interviews include Trier's interest in Japanese horror movies; how he feels about opening The Boss of It All at the Copenhagen International Film Festival; his sources of inspiration; some of the jokes about Denmark, Iceland that Americans might not get, given that The Boss of It All is one of his most Danish films; and differences between European and American capitalism.
