Lars von Trier fears he won't make more films now he is sober Lars von Trier says he is worried that he will not be able to make any more films now that he has quit drinking alcohol and no longer uses drugs. The Danish film director told the newspaper Politiken: "No creative expression of artistic value has ever been carried out by former alcoholics and drug addicts." It was his first interview since Cannes film festival organisers banned him from their event in 2011 after he joked he was a Nazi at a press conference to promote his film Melancholia. Von Trier, who has directed graphic films such as Antichrist and Nymphomaniac, said he will be sober for 90 days as of Sunday and is going to meetings at Alcoholics Anonymous every day. In a seven-page interview, the 58-year-old winner of the Palme d'Or (for Dancer in the Dark), told Politiken that he used to drink a bottle of vodka every day but to be creative he combined the alcohol with different kind of drugs. I can't recommend anyone to do the same. It is very dangerous and stupid in every way," he said. The father of four, who is married to a teacher, said in the interview he had come to a point where he had to choose between the human Lars Trier and the director Lars von Trier. The director adopted "von" while studying at the Danish Film School.
