I have Parkinson’s disease, OCD, and at the moment, controlled alcoholism. In short, with some luck, I should have a few decent films left in me.”He continued: “All this is as suggested meant as an old-school contact ad, where I, without knowing the least about social media, am looking for a female girlfriend slash muse.
And despite of all the whining, I still insist that on a good day, in the right company, I can be quite a charming partner.”The director then asked that “all enquiries regarding this ad” be sent to bill.mrk.lars@gmail.com.Von Trier was married to Cæcilia Holbek Trier from 1987 to 1996, and then married Bente Frøge in 1997 before they divorced in 2015.
