Description
This book discusses the figure of Woman in Lars von Trier s distinctive cinematic productions from 1996 to 2014. It takes the notorious legacy of violence against women in von Trier s cinema beyond the perceived gender division, elevating the director s image above being a mere provocateur. By raising fundamental questions about woman, sexuality, and desire, Elbeshlawy shows that Trier(s cinematic Woman is an attempt at creating an image of a genderless subject that is not inhibited by the confines of ideology and culture. But this attempt is perennially ill-fated. And it is this failure that not only fosters viewing enjoyment but also gives the films their political importance, elevating them above both commendations and condemnations of feminist discourse.
