Mia Goth is a rising star who has captured the attention of film lovers with her eccentric characters and captivating performances. Essentially a scream queen, her brilliant portrayal and roles showcase the depth and intensity she harbors as an actor.

But beyond her on-screen talent and her unique blend of grace and intensity, there lies more than what meets the eye. Not only does she have a fascinating family ancestry that spans several cultures and parts of the world, but the actress is also multilingual and can speak over three languages pretty fluently.

Her ability to switch between languages not only showcases her versatility as an actress but also hints at the intriguing, multicultural background she hails from. Containing British, Brazilian, and Canadian influence, Mia Goth’s ancestry makes her even more dynamic and adds a charm to her silver screen presence.

So without any more dilly-dally,...

The creative output of the Adams Family seems to be endless, and something as simple as a long road trip is enough to inspire their next big movie idea. It hasn’t even been a full rotation around the sun since the release of their last feature Where The Devil Roams, but husband and wife team John Adams and Toby Poser still somehow managed to make another, Hell Hole. The Adams proved to be experts in crafting witchy and supernatural horrors with The Deeper You Dig and Hellbender, but this time, they’re trying out something different with a creature feature far from the comforts of their home country.

Americans Emily (Toby Poser) and John (John Adams) are overseeing the beginning stages of an oil fracking operation in the Serbian countryside. They’re joined by Emily’s nephew and camp cook, Teddy, a duo of Slovenian environmental scientists, Sofija and...

A Strange Beast of Hot Complexity Lars von Trier’s ‘Nymphomaniac’ is a complicated beast. Let’s start by discussing its basic structure: the film opens with blackness and nothingness. First, we hear sound, then we see images. These sounds are slow-building, immersive, meditative, almost serene, and peaceful. Raindrops dripping,...

August is gonna be huge for Disney+ and Hulu! There’s so much cool new stuff coming out over the next month to keep us entertained as summer wraps up.

Disney+ has some awesome shows starting new seasons. “Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures” is back on August 14th with more space adventures. Kids can also look forward to fresh episodes of “Me and Winnie the Pooh” on the 21st. Music fans should check out “Are You Sure?!,” a new show about BTS members Jimin and Jung Kook that comes out the 8th.

Hulu really loaded up their August lineup with something for everyone. One of the biggest things has to be season 4 of “Only Murders in the Building” premiering on the 27th. I heard they added some famous people like Zach Galifianakis and Eugene Levy too which will be sweet.

Movie lovers can watch a bunch of new flicks that just left theaters too.

Writer/director Bradley Rust Gray is taking audiences on a tour of grief abroad.

The filmmaker’s latest feature, “I’ll Be Your Mirror” (originally titled “Blood”), follows a widow (Carla Juri) who travels to Japan on a business trip. While there, she reconnects with an old friend and reconnects with her lost joie de vivre. The feature debuted at Sundance in 2022.

The official synopsis reads: Chloe (Juri) travels to Japan for work where she is welcomed by an old friend, Toshi (Takashi Ueno). Sliding between the melancholy of the loss of her husband and the awe of perspectives changed, Chloe wanders an unfamiliar landscape.

Issey Ogata, Sachiko Ohshima, and Futaba Okazaki also star.

Filmmaker Gray previously helmed “Salt,” “The Exploding Girl,” and “Jack and Diane.” “I’ll Be Your Mirror” is Gray’s fourth film. The film will debut at the IFC theater in New York, with Paul Dano...

Once upon a time in 1970s Texas, a group of filmmakers traveled to a remote farmhouse to shoot what they hoped would be the Citizen Kane of porno flicks. Only one of them would leave that quaint rural residence alive. Cut to: that same “Final Girl” close to a decade later, when she has not only endured another round of related homicides but has been christened Hollywood’s Next Big Thing. Sandwiched in between this fairy tale’s beginning and ending is the story of another woman who also yearns for fame,...

Since shifting to acting a decade ago, Mia Goth has cemented herself as a modern-day scream queen and has earned major recognition for her performance in the X series. After joining forces with filmmaker Ti West, Goth headlined X and its prequel Pearl, in which she played the villain of the first film, and the third entry in the trilogy, MaXXXIne, has also opened to favorable reviews.

But despite enjoying an acclaimed filmography over the course of the last ten years, Goth still struggles with one aspect of the production process, which she detailed in a recent interview.

Mia Goth Struggles With the Waiting Process in Production Mia Goth in Pearl | A24

Since starting out as a model at the age of 14, Mia Goth soon started auditioning for movie roles and eventually landed her first acting gig in Lars von Trier’s Nymphomaniac in 2013. The following years saw her starring in many acclaimed features,...

The year of 2022 was quite fruitful for horror features, as we saw such genre’s gems, as Barbarian, The Menu, Smile and Scream. However, they all didn’t make enough noise to be everywhere on the Net not only at the time, but over the course of these 2 years too.

There is one movie which obviously managed to do so, given the enormous amount of memes, viral videos and Halloween costumes inspired by it. It’d be surprising to hear that it appears to be a sequel, but it definitely overhyped the original movie.

Its plot focuses on the life of a mentally ill young woman forced to live with her abusive parents and her husband at the farm. She can’t stand this way of life and lusts for the glamorous life of a chorus girl or a film star, but her dreams don't seem to come true.

A24 released the trailer for “Maxxxine” early Monday, the third part of a genre trilogy from Mia Goth and director Ti West. Whereas “X” focused on a porno shoot in 1979 and “Pearl” took the action way back to 1918 (with Goth mugging with a frozen smile for insane lengths of time), “Maxxxine” is set in Los Angeles during its sleaze nadir of 1985, with Goth’s Maxine Minx ready to make the transition from adult entertainer to horror movie star. Alas, a serial killer (“The Night Stalker”) is on the loose, causing trouble.

Set to “My Obsession” by Animotion and “Self Control” by Laura Branigan, Maxxine and hear blown-out hairstyle zoom around L.A., meeting Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Lily Collins, Halsey, Giancarlo Esposito, and Kevin Bacon along the way.

Even though “Maxxxine” looks like a splashy, fun ride with 1980s makeup, Debicki in an ascot, and some shots on VHS,...

Is Yorgos Lanthimos’ horny fairytale Poor Things really available to stream on the home of straight-up fairytales, Disney+? Yes — kinda.

As of March 7th, the film has become available to stream on Disney+ in the UK, and on Hulu in the United States. But thanks to Disney+ and Hulu’s ongoing integration, viewers in the US with the bundle have the option to watch Poor Things directly on Disney+.

What’s notable about this is Poor Things’ graphic content. As Consequence’s Clint Worthington noted in his review, the film features “everything from rampant scenes of acrobatic sex to dismemberment and disfigurements of all sorts.” Throughout its narrative, main character Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) — a developing infant’s brain placed in a grown body — discovers masturbation, sexual pleasure, exploitation, and many grim aspects of the modern world.

Not a whole lot of this imagery is exactly what you’d imagine...

Denis Villeneuve's new hit film "Dune: Part Two" sees the rise of a villain not glimpsed in "Dune: Part One." In the film, the evil Baron Vladimir Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård), having lost faith in his nephew Rabban (Dave Bautista) and his ability to exterminate the Fremen on Arrakis, turns to his far more sociopathic, aggressive nephew Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler), a young man with no remorse and a murderous streak a mile wide. A large section of "Dune: Part Two" is devoted to describing Feyd's horrible evil, with several Bene Gesserit witches noting that he can only be controlled through flattery and sexuality, not conscience. Feyd is a violent, walking id, and the film ultimately culminates in a knife fight between him and the Messianic Paul Atreaides (Timothée Chalamet).

In David Lynch's eccentric 1984 "Dune" adaptation, rock star Sting played Feyd, and there is a notorious scene wherein Sting emerges from a bizarre,...

Focus Features has bought international rights to Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist,” starring Adrien Brody, Felicity Jones, Guy Pearce and Joe Alwyn, Variety has learned.

Corbet, who sits on the Berlinale jury, penned the film with Mona Fastvold (“The World to Come”), a Norwegian filmmaker who is also his wife. The film charts 30 years in the lives of visionary architect László Toth and his wife, Erzsébet, who flee post-war Europe in 1947 and witness the birth of modern America. László initially endures poverty and indignity, but the architect’s genius soon catches the attention of charming industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren, whose dark influence threatens to destroy everything László and his wife have built.

The cast is completed by Raffey Cassidy (“White Noise”), Isaach De Bankolé (“Casino Royale”), Alessandro Nivola (“The Many Saints of Newark”), Stacy Martin (“Nymphomaniac Vol I”), Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”), Jonathan Hyde (“Titanic”) and Peter Polycarpou...

Charlotte Gainsbourg is joining Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino’s Prime Video series Étoile to replace Camille Cottin, who has dropped out over scheduling conflicts.

Actress, singer and songwriter Gainbourg will join the likes of Luke Kirby (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Gideon Glick, Simon Callow (Outlander), Lou de Laâge (The Innocents), and David Alvarez (West Side Story) in the drama series.

Set in New York City and Paris, the eight-episode Étoile follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies, as they embark on an ambitious gambit to save their storied institutions by swapping their most talented stars.

In April, the show was given a two-season order, at which point Call My Agent!, Golda and House of Gucci star Cottin was named among its leads.

Arthdal Chronicles...

Stellan Skarsgård is finding the “Melancholia” in fellow marriage film “Mamma Mia!”

Skarsgård compared filming the beloved 2008 Abba-centric musical movie to starring in a Lars Von Trier film as “Mamma Mia!” echoed the same “relaxed” feeling as leading a Von Trier film like “Nymphomaniac” or “Dogville.”

“I don’t think I’ve ever felt more relaxed on a movie set,” Skarsgård told Vogue of “Mamma Mia!,” adding, “except with Lars von Trier — which I know sounds strange. But his films are very arthouse, to where I always felt like I could take risks, and it was the same with ‘Mamma Mia!'”

He continued, “The thing you want to achieve in a film is real life, which is hard to capture and cannot be done without you feeling safe. You can be skilled and elegant, but the charm of the film is that we were all enjoying ourselves immensely.”

Skarsgård...

“Nymphomaniac” director Lars von Trier is seeking a “muse” for his next films.

The “Melancholia” helmer shared a personal ad by way of Instagram video to request “enquiries” from applicants to be his next girlfriend be directed to an email address he provided. Von Trier was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in August 2022 and announced he would be taking a break due to his health.

“I don’t know what I’ve dragged myself into this time,” von Trier said in a video uploaded August 15. “So before I drown myself in smug advertising, let me make a few things clear: I’m 67 years old. I have Parkinson’s disease, Ocd, and at the moment, controlled alcoholism. In short, with some luck, I should have a few decent films left in me.”

He continued, “All this is as suggested meant as an old-school contact ad, where I, without knowing the least about social media,...

Keeping it in the family is very much a Hollywood tradition at this point, and in the 21st century acting families are still thriving. Whether it be Cuba Gooding Jr.’s son Mason joining the cast of the last two Scream movies, Lily-Rose Depp leading The Idol, Maya Hawke becoming a fan favorite in Stranger Things, or Ethan Peck (grandson of Gregory) roaming the bridge of the Enterprise in Star Trek, there’s always a new generation of nepo babies lurching from crib to screen.

But one man is overwhelmingly leading the pack in terms of famous male offspring these days. A man who could conceivably consider the Kardashians his Warios. And that’s Stellan Skarsgård.

A Swedish gentleman well into his 70s with an effortlessly friendly demeanour and a soothingly craggy face, Skarsgård now has eight children, and it’s a solid bet that if you see the name...

Jane Birkin, the beloved British-French actor and singer who spent most of her life in France and is known for a tumultuous relationship with French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg, died on Sunday at her home in Paris, according to Le Parisien newspaper. She was 76.

No cause of death has yet been confirmed.

Birkin was best known internationally for her steamy 1969 duet “Je t’aime… moi non plus” which she sang with Gainsbourg, one year after meeting him on the shoot of Pierre Grimblat’s “Slogan.” Although she hadn’t broken through at the time, she had a small but memorable part in Michelangelo Antonioni’s sultry 1966 film “Blow Up.”

Together, Birkin and Gainsbourg had a daughter, the actor and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg. After splitting in 1980, the pair remained close and pursued their artistic collaboration. Birkin was creatively involved in three albums by Gainsbourg, “Baby Alone in Babylone” in 1983, “Lost Song” in...

In his honor, Locarno will screen Good Evening, Mr. Wallenberg (1990), Kjell Grede’s period drama in which Skarsgard plays Raoul Wallenberg, the Swedish diplomat who saved thousands of Hungarian Jews during the final months of World War II.

Memento International has closed major deals on Martin Provost’s “Bonnard, Pierre And Marthe” ahead of the film’s world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Shia Labeouf is currently fighting a legal battle over allegations of abuse made against him by his former partner, the musician FKA twigs.

A former child actor who rose to fame as an adult with roles in blockbusters such as Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Labeouf was accused in 2020 of crimes including sexual battery, assault, and infliction of emotional distress.

Labeouf has denied the allegations, and is appearing in court from mid-April.

He and twigs, real name Tahliah Barnett, dated from mid-2018 to mid-2019.

Here is a breakdown of Labeouf’s life, career, and the abuse allegations against him...

Labeouf was born to Shayna Saide, a visual artist and ex-dancer, and Jeffrey Labeouf, a Vietnam veteran and former professional clown. His parents divorced when he was a child, and the family struggled financially; he has said that his father was addicted to heroin.

After a massive year in 2022 with back-to-back buzzworthy performances in “X” and “Pearl,” Mia Goth has added a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe to her resume, joining Marvel’s “Blade.”

The Marvel Studios film stars Oscar winner Mahershala Ali as the title vampire slayer, directed by Yann Demange from a script by Emmy nominee Michael Starrbury, which is said to be “darker than most MCU movies.” Goth joins a star-studded cast that also includes Aaron Pierre and Delroy Lindo, but details of her role are being kept under wraps.

When Warner Bros. premiered Don’t Worry Darling at the Venice Film Festival last year, the studio must have been hoping reports of production problems and on-set disputes for Olivia Wilde’s new film would be replaced with glossy glamour shots of the film’s A-list stars, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles, strutting the Lido’s red carpet.

Instead, they got #Spitgate.

A short video shot from the gallery during Don’t Worry‘s premiere, which, if you squint, purports to show Styles spitting on co-star Chris Pine just before he sits down next to him, became all anyone wanted to talk about. The video, viewed millions of times online, was given the Zapruder treatment. Instead of discussing Wilde’s stylish feminist thriller, Pugh’s performance or the shocking last-reel twist, the discussion focused on whether Harry did or didn’t gob on Chris, something Pine strongly denied.

Not yet thirty years old, Mia Goth has already collaborated with several world-renowned filmmakers for her willingness to follow their most demented muses. Her girlish appearance strikes a shocking contrast with the atrocity exhibitions that she gravitates toward: eagerly taking to sexual grooming in Lars Von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac;” undergoing forcible insemination and grisly spaghettification with Claire Denis in “High Life;” becoming an insane asylum’s incestuous princess for Gore Verbinski in “A Cure for Wellness;” witnessing her own disembowelment as part of the orgiastic blood ritual Luca Guadagnino that’s the grand finale to “Suspiria;” manifesting a century of madness for Ti West’s in-progress trio of period pieces of “X,” “Pearl,” and the upcoming “Maxxxine.” And so it’s no surprise that Goth’s latest outing is another twisted affair: Brandon Cronenberg‘s “Infinity Pool,” which takes place at a Mediterranean beach resort that hides a violent and depraved sub-culture.

Mia Goth has been a secret weapon of auteurs ever since her preternatural debut in Lars von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac” at 18. Since then, she has been a scene-stealer in films by Luca Guadagnino (2018’s “Suspiria”), Claire Denis (2018’s “High Life”) and Autumn de Wilde (2020’s “Emma”). Her profile exploded last year after she starred in Ti West’s twin horror films “X” and “Pearl.” She co-wrote the latter, which centers on a girl intoxicated by the idea of stardom and desperate to escape her dreary life on a farm. Goth’s next project is the eagerly anticipated Sundance film “Infinity Pool,” a psychological thriller directed by “Possessor” helmer Brandon Cronenberg.

Memento International has closed a raft of major deals on “Bonnard, Pierre And Marthe,” a period film about the epic love of renowned French painters Pierre and Marthe Bonnard.

Directed by Martin Provost, a Cesar-winning French filmmaker, “Bonnard, Pierre And Marthe” is being teased by Memento International at the French Rendez-Vous Paris. The company is introducing an exclusive promoreel to buyers at the event, which kicks off today (Jan. 11).

Memento Distribution and Imagine will release the film in France and Benelux, respectively.

“Bonnard, Pierre And Marthe” stars Cecile de France (“Lost Illusions”), Vincent Macaigne (“Irma Vep”) and Stacy Martin (“Nymphomaniac”). François Kraus and Denis Pineau-Valencienne at Les Films du Kiosque produced the movie.

The film charts...

Plot: A mysterious voice calls upon the sleep walker, Karen, during a nightmare. The Kingdom is in need of her assistance, and at the hospital, she finds an ally in the porter, Bulder.

Review: Lars Von Trier is a filmmaker who has amassed a cult following thanks to his unique brand of storytelling and boundary-pushing cinematic experiments. From Melancholia to Antichrist, Nymphomaniac to Breaking the Waves, Von Trier has accomplished everything from musicals to dramas and more. His exercise in small-screen storytelling, The Kingdom (aka Riget), has itself garnered a distinctive cult following for its combination of medical soap operas and supernatural thrillers. Spread over two series of four episodes each that premiered in 1994 and 1997, The Kingdom also spawned an English-language remake courtesy of Stephen King. Now, twenty-five years since the series left off, Von Trier concludes The Kingdom with a five-episode closing series subtitled Exodus. An absurd blend of...

It's astounding how quickly Mia Goth has cemented herself in popular culture as not just an incredibly talented actress, but one with an intuitive sense of what projects suit her best. The London-born actress, who made her feature film debut back in 2013 with Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac," has become a staple of arthouse drama, thriller, and horror genre cinema. Her ability to channel both syrupy sweetness and malevolent darkness makes her a versatile addition to any film, traits that brought her into the mainstream with Ti West's "X" and prequel "Pearl" in 2022.

With her star set to shine brighter than ever following the wildly successful release of "Pearl," we've ranked all 12 feature films starring Mia Goth from worst to best. Frankly, it's a testament to her taste as a performer that we'd still recommend checking them all out, even if some films are more enjoyable than others.

Ranveer Singh took to the stage at the Marrakech International Film Festival on Saturday to discuss his 12-year trajectory from an unknown Mumbai outsider to one of Bollywood’s most famous and best-paid actors.

Speaking in an In Conversation event, the actor revealed he was so green about the mechanics of shooting a feature film when he first arrived on the set of his 2010 breakthrough romantic comedy Band Baaja Baaraat he had never seen a boom mike before.

“My co-actor, the beautiful Anushka Sharma had done one feature and she held my hand through that entire process. I was so basic that in a talking scene on the first day, there was a person standing there holding the boom mike, and I’m looking at Anushka, saying “Is this guy going to stand there like that the whole time?’,” he recalled.

Celebrated actor and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, speaking to an audience at the Zurich Film Festival, shared her experiences filming Celyn Jones and Tom Stern’s “The Almond and the Seahorse,” the valuable instructions received from Lars von Trier, and the challenges of shooting a documentary about mother Jane Birkin.

Based on the play of the same name by Kaite O’Reilly, who wrote the screenplay with Jones, “The Almond and the Seahorse,” which screens in Zurich’s Gala Premieres section, revolves around two couples struggling with severe brain injuries. Toni (Gainsbourg) is dealing with her partner Gwen (Trine Dyrholm), who no longer is the same person that she was before. She finds support in Sarah (Rebel Wilson), whose husband Joe (Jones) is suffering from a similar brain injury.

Gainsbourg said it was these four characters that attracted her to the film. “There are two couples and the two partners of the ones wounded,...

Charlotte Gainsbourg was melancholic on the set of Lars von Trier’s “Melancholia.”

The longtime von Trier collaborator reflected on the 2011 feature starring Kirsten Dunst as a woeful bride who sinks into depression as the end of the world looms. Two years after working on the “very demanding” film “Antichrist” also under helmer von Trier, Gainsbourg anticipated she would have a “special relationship” with the director on “Melancholia,” but her expectations were quickly curbed.

“I entered the shoot thinking, ‘I know Lars, I’ll have this special relationship with him,’ and he totally put me aside,” Gainsbourg said during a masterclass at the Zurich Film Festival, where she received the honorary Golden Eye career award (via Deadline).

“At one point, I went to see the producer and said, ‘I think he wants to fire me, he’s not happy,'” Gainsbourg explained. “At the end of the shoot, she came to see me and said,...

Charlotte Gainsbourg revealed the lasting impact of working with Danish director Lars von Trier at a Masterclass at the Zurich Film Festival this week, where she also received its honorary Golden Eye career award.

From 2009 to 2013, the British-French actress shot three films with the director – Antichrist, Melancholia and the two-part Nymphomaniac – and at the time was sometimes referred to as his muse.

Gainsbourg said the period she spent working with von Trier, who has recently announced he is taking a break from directing following his diagnosis with Parkinson’s Disease, was a milestone in her career.

“For Me, There Is A Before Lars, And An After Lars,” she said. “He taught me so much and different things with each film.”

“You have such freedom with him,” she continued. “You get into a scene, you know your lines and then he just says, ‘Well, that was just crap… What I wrote was crap,...

Mia Goth may not have a film school degree, but she’s well-versed in her cinematic influences.

The “X” actress made her film debut in Lars von Trier’s “Nymphomaniac” in 2013 and now lands her first screenwriting credit with “X” prequel film “Pearl,” in theaters September 16. To portray the titular teen dreaming of stardom, while hiding slasher tendencies, Goth looked towards Björk in “Dancer in the Dark” and Bette Davis in “Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?” as inspirations.

Pearl and West also drew from Michael Fassbender’s extended monologue from “Hunger,” directed by Steve McQueen, for a particularly taxing scene. But the scariest part of playing Pearl proved to be the loftiness by which Goth and co-writer/director Ti West set out to capture her breaking point, rather than her bloody outbursts.

“I was really terrified to shoot [the monologue], because I never went to film school,” Goth told W Magazine. “I...

Shia Labeouf is crediting partner Mia Goth for bringing light back into his life.

During an interview on the “Real Ones with Jon Bernthal” podcast, Labeouf praised “Pearl” actress Goth for reaching out when he was in rehab after two years of not speaking. The duo reconciled in 2021 and welcomed daughter Isabel earlier this year.

“She saved my fucking life,” Labeouf said of Goth, admitting she “took hits” from the media for getting back with him amid abuse allegations and upcoming lawsuit from “Honey Boy” co-star, ex FKA Twigs. Goth appeared for Labeouf’s family week program at his rehabilitation center two months after he entered treatment.

Despite Labeouf having “nothing to offer her,” Goth was “present for me at a time when I didn’t deserve to have nobody in my life, especially her,” the “Padre Pio” actor said. “She gave me hope when I was really running on fumes.

Lars von Trier is opening up about his Parkinson’s Disease diagnosis.

The “Antichrist” auteur was diagnosed four months prior to the 2022 Venice Film Festival, where the long-awaited Season 3 of “The Kingdom” premiered 28 years after the TV show first debuted.

During a press conference at the festival, the director admitted to having Parkinson’s symptoms for a long time prior to an official diagnosis.

“That means that I had not lived up to the way I wanted to be as a director, because I was ill,” Von Trier explained to Variety. “And that’s a pity for the [‘The Kingdom Exodus’] actors, but I think they did Ok.”

Von Trier confirmed that he will “take a little break” to focus on his health. “The Kingdom Exodus” is his first project since 2018’s “The House That Jack Built,” which debuted at Cannes.

“I will take a little break and find out what to do.

“The Kingdom Exodus” begins with a joke, and for the next five hours, it never gets serious, not even for a second. That’s not what you might expect for the long-delayed finale to Lars von Trier’s made-for-tv horror series, though it sure makes this over-the-top return to the haunted Rigshospitalet — that big, brutalist medical center in the heart of Copenhagen — a lot more fun.

For all of two minutes, von Trier tricks us into thinking that maybe this third season is going to look like a polished, peak-tv miniseries of the sort you might find on HBO or Netflix. We open on a closeup of a woman’s eye, ideally lit and steadily framed, reflecting a TV screen on which a tuxedoed von Trier appears, a quarter-century younger, over the credits of Season 2’s final episode.

Von Trier has long suffered from sporadic depression and other mental health problems associated with the disease, sometimes addressing these subjects in his films. he also has a reputation for erratic behaviour, and was banned from the Cannes Film Festival in 2011 after saying he felt sympathy for Hitler. At that time, Kirsten Dunst, who starred in Melancholia and would go on to have a supporting role in Nymphomaniac, came to his defence and suggested that he was suffering from confusion.

With proper treatment, Parkinson's disease no longer.

Director Lars von Trier has been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, according to a press release from Zentropa obtained by The Copenhagen Post. The Oscar-nominated Danish film director is 66.

“Lars is in good spirits and is being treated for his symptoms – and given treatment so he can complete ‘Riget Exodus,'” said the statement from Zentropa, the film company started by von Trier and producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen.

According to the press release, the filmmaker plans to continue working on the third season of his series, “The Kingdom,” which is set to premiere at the Venice Film Festival on Aug. 31.
