Title: Von Trier's Antichrist - NOT a horror film but horrific still
Post by: ohcheap1 on August 27, 2009, 09:53:27 PM
Antichrist- NOT a horror film but horrific non the less.

*?Antichrist,? an alternately deadly serious and highly ironic exploration of psychosexual trauma with Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a married couple grieving the death of their only child.

*Like his previous films, Antichrist is intellectually stimulating even as it repels you, shifting from cute Lynchian surrealism in the first half to Bataillesque perversions in the second.

*Von Trier said at a press conference that Antichrist ?is a very dark dream about guilt and sex and stuff. Not to show it \ would be lying. I don?t think I have to excuse myself. You are all my guests. Not the other way around. I?ve made this little film, that I?m rather fond of, for me. I don?t think I owe anybody an explanation.?

OC1 - I do not know what to say or how to say it. This was by far one of the most psychotic movies I?ve ever seen. I spent an equal amount of time reading reviews and critiques as I did watching the film itself. I?m not recommending it but I?m not say don?t see it. It's a metaphysical experience so.....good luck with that. Holy poo.

Rarely does one review sell me on a movie.  But this one did  ;D

Only shitty screeners out for it.  I'll have to wait.

I will admit the screener I watched was indeed hard to watch It had the timing clock running across the top and the promo logo popping up. There must be one better than that though. I dont mind the promo logo popping up but the timer was just pissing me off.

But what he isnt saying is that he has no more insight into the movie than I did. Maybe its just supposed to piss you off trying to figure it out.
