Look interesting. I've been reading some good stuff and weird stuff.

Starring: Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg
Director: Lars von Trier




A few quick comments from rottentomatoes:

Antichrist is something to be experienced rather than understood, at least at a first viewing, and it concludes in the visionary epilogue on a tone of tragic tranquillity.​



Von Trier has mutilated his own film, turning it into a crazy, hysterical work that alienates the audience with its infantile shock tactics and tedious transgressions.​




It's ploddy, affected and ludicrously nasty but, for all that, Lars von Trier's new movie could well be the best horror film since the genre's 70s heyday.​




Troma and porn have flogged this sort of stuff for years - the kind of films that don't get previewed by critics.​




It’s thrilling to see that von Trier’s vicious sense of mischief, his moviemaking skill and his desire to smash limits and expectations all remain undimmed. However you swallow it, this bizarre, hysterical melodrama is impossible to ignore.​

i don't really know how to review it. It's interesting at times, other times it's boring. Some of the scenery/imagery is really good, the direction is good you can say. And there are a couple of really fucked up scenes. If you take away those scenes, no one would talk about this movie, I'll put it that way.

I was hoping for more but those two scenes I want deleted from my memory.
