his documentary film about the making of Idiots is as direct as the feature film itself. It shows how the director, Von Trier, worked with his actors by drawing the viewer into the middle of the creative communication between the director and the actors. It also portrays the creative process from the author’s perspective and through his emotional and existential crisis, by using excerpts from Von Trier’s personal diary that he kept during the shooting of Idiots.
