Danish director Lars von Trier, known as one of the leading figures in contemporary auteur cinema, has been placed in a medical center due to Parkinson's disease, as announced by his production company Zentropa. Producer Zentropa Louise Vest wrote on her Instagram that "Trier is in a rehabilitation center, where he can receive the necessary treatment and care." She added that his stay in this center is considered an "extension" of his stay at home, noting that "his condition is good in this situation," and emphasized the necessity to "protect very personal data" following the publication of sensitive information by the Danish media.
In 2022, Trier announced that he suffers from Parkinson's disease, but a list published by the Danish film institute last year showed that the director is working on a new film titled "After." Trier (68) has not been heard of recently. In 2011 at the film festival in Cannes he stated that "one must not understand Hitler," however, he also received backlash, confirming that he does not consider himself "antisemitic, racist or a Nazi."
Among the most famous films directed by Trier, it is worth mentioning "Dogville," "Melancholia" and "The House That Jack Built," and he also received the Golden Palm for the film "Breaking the Waves" at the Cannes festival in 2000.
