This. I don't believe him. There's nothing he can say to make me believe him. Bjork's response was so extreme that I have no doubt she's being honest.

Not even Catherine Deneuve managed to say anything positive about the way Von Trier treated Björk and that was a red flag even back then.

really? I believe Bjork 100% but on the movie's documentary it seemed like Catherine was on his side.

I saw some interviews, especially at Cannes that year, where she tried to be the voice of reason, but in the end, she said that Van Trier was cruel, she also said that she tried to protect Björk whenever she could, Van Trier wouldn't mistreat her, because of her statue in european cinema. Back then, I got the feeling that CD was pretty pissed off by Van Triers behaviour.

So wait....the words of a woman who denounces #MeToo and defends Roman Polanski should mean something when against somebody else? That's not how it works, lol.

I was more in the line of thinking that if even a woman as ignorant as CD admits it, it must have been really brutal.

She even said she was no longer interested in being in films after her experience in Dancer in the Dark.
