Lars Von Trier Upset That Norway's Mass Murderer Loved Dogville

"I feel badly about thinking that Dogville, which in my eyes is one of my most successful films, should have been a kind of script for him. It's horrific," director Lars von Trier said about the fact that Dogville was revealed to be one of Norwegian camp killer Anders Behring Breivik's favorite films. "[I]f it was an inspiration, I'm sorry that I made it. But of course I have educational purposes with my films, even if I hesitate to admit it, and my views are the complete opposite of Breivik and his deeds." Dogville ends with Nicole Kidman's character ordering the massacre of the village that abused her. [Hollywood-Elsewhere]
