    • Trivia
      While Lene Børglum executive produced films like Dogville (2003), Manderlay (2005), Mammoth (2009) and Valhalla Rising (2009), she was simultaneously the head of Lars von Trier's adult company Puzzy Power and had previously made her mark as the producer of its three hardcore video productions: Constance (1998), Pink Prison (1999) and HotMen CoolBoyz (2000). This extreme jump from hardcore porn to major art cinema prominence, without hiding behind a pseudonym, is probably unequaled in film history.
