Basically, I'm afraid of everything in life, except filmmaking.
—— Lars von Trier
提尔的电影，总是离不开痛苦的主题，然则正如他在《Riget I》最后油抹灵光地站在舞台上现身说法的那一段，"Maybe you think the story is predictable and depressing. If so, look at your own life. Is it monotonous and humdrum?" 这其实便是提尔眼中拍惊悚电影的目的，电影艺术投射于生活，超于生活，并致力于给一些观众带来生活中所不能体验的感觉。
