Lars von Trier Admitted to Care Center for Parkinson's Disease Treatment
The post Lars von Trier Admitted to Care Center for Parkinson's Disease Treatment appeared first on Consequence.
Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier has been admitted to a care center to receive treatment for Parkinson's disease, his production company Zentropa Entertainment confirms.
In a statement posted to the official Zentropa Instagram, producer Louise Vesth wrote (roughly translated from Danish): 'Lars is currently in a care center that can provide him with the treatment and care his condition requires. It's a complement to his own private accommodation. Lars is doing well under the circumstances.'
von Trier went public with his diagnosis of Parkinson's disease in August 2022. At the time, Zentropa said he was being treated to complete Riget Exodus (which translates to The Kingdom: Exodus), the third and final installment of his supernatural series.
A provocative auteur, von Trier has also (deservedly) received backlash for some of his public statements. In 2011, he was banned from Cannes for seven years after saying he 'sympathized' with Hitler. More recently, von Trier wrote on Instagram in August 2023 that 'Russian lives matter also!' in a message to Presidents Zelenskyy and Putin.
Besides that, Björk has accused von Trier of committing sexual assault during the making of his 2000 musical Dancer in the Dark. Though he admitted to psychological abuse, he said, 'I did not touch her in the wrong places.'
