 In her September 2005 book "Close Up and Personal",  Catherine Deneuve (qv) writes of the difficulties of filming this  movie. Despite some initial misgivings (filming of the musical scene  in the factory was "disordered", and film preparations ran late)  Deneuve decides that things would be professional, as  Lars Von Trier (qv) knew what he wanted to do, and people would  follow his lead. Later, however, she says she realized there was no  point asking Von Trier to explain her character further, because she  didnt have many scenes. Deneuves account makes it clear both Von  Trier and Björk (qv) were difficult to work with, but she also  comments that she enjoyed the experience, while not making true  connections.
