The Humiliated
(de Ydmygede)

Directed by Jesper Jargil.
Denmark, 1998, digital video, color, 83 min.
Danish with English subtitles.

One of the team of cinematographers for Lars von Trier’s The Idiots, Jesper Jargil took advantage of his unique access to von Trier’s working methods to tape this behind-the-scenes portrait of the making of the film. Complemented by excepts from von Trier’s own audio diary, The Humiliated paints a complex picture of the controversial director as an emotional, manipulative, vulnerable, and yet utterly focused artist deeply engaged in the intense creative process necessary to bring his visions to life.
