Search found 1 match: Uwe Boll

I hadn't heard of this, just read the statement and one article about it, then another article from von Trier denying any harassment. Bjork's statement doesn't ever really specify what she's claiming von Trier did except "it is a universal thing that a director can touch and harass his actresses at will" and "when I turned the director down repeatedly he sulked and punished me."
The closest detail supporting anything I found was on an article by Rolling Stone saying that "the singer disagreeing on wardrobe choices to the point where she reportedly tore up a dress and ate its shreds." I've only seen two of von Trier's movies, but that's enough for me. As a filmmaker, I find him to be just a step under Uwe Boll, so you'd think that I'd jump at the opportunity to hold something else against him, but I'm skeptical. If Bjork ripped up a dress and ate it because she wasn't getting what she wanted, maybe she was hard to work with, and I can't fault von Trier for disagreeing with Bjork's fashion sensibilities, she gets to wear whatever she wants all the time and puts that power to use, appearing in some of the most awkward and embarrassing outfits I've ever seen, so if a film directer wants to direct his film and his vision doesn't really fit with wearing bubble wrap for shoes or a mask made out of human hair, then more power to him. Does this mean that von Trier didn't harass her? No, but it doesn't really help Bjork's claims.
