Lars von Trier

Charlotte Gainsbourg talks about filming 'The Almond and the Seahorse,' working with Lars von Trier, and shooting a film about Jane Birkin.

And it was so intimate and so touching. “It was very nerve-racking to shoot without a script, not knowing where I was going. “I had no idea where it was going.” It was always a surprise. “I was living at the time in New York, far away from my mother. It was always interesting. I don’t feel that responsible for the films that I’ve done.” It was beautifully written.” With each film it was a different him. “I thought it was a very beautiful perspective of four characters. Gainsbourg said it was these four characters that attracted her to the film. I think he interviewed a few actresses and I don’t know why he chose me.
