    He attended the UK's National Film and Television School. Trier: "I began at 23, one of the youngest students, and I loved the visuals of Antonioni and De Palma, so I needed to learn character. Years later, I understood how much I learned. I'm really interesting in character-driven storytelling.".
  • Quotes
    I want to kidnap the drama back from HBO and put it on the big screen.
