The name Lars von Trier is on everyone’s lips. The buzz started generating at Cannes but it seems as though TIFF has really blown the top on this film and if the poster, the first trailer and Kurt’s review aren’t enough to convince you that this is the film to see this year, this trailer may not help.
For the rest of us, here’s a little more of von Trier’s horror, a film so disturbing it left me shaking and unable to sleep. Will I see it again? Not anytime soon but maybe in a few years when my little heart has turned into stone and I need to feel something again; even if that something is pain.
It is with great importance that I MUST watch this film! There is so much buildup around it that my curiosity has been piqued beyond description. Forget the hyped up promotions of those teeny-bopper vampire movies when this one hopefully leave the rest of the supernatural thrillers in the dust!
So first time at TIFF. My first film happens to be Antichrist. I can assure readers it is awesome. You think you’re ready, but you’re not.
From the hype you might think exploitative… and it is to some degree. But mostly it is an art film with moments of harshness. It is gorgeous beyond belief and I loved every second.
I missed the guy puking during my screening but I heard it was good times.
Speaking from someone who is not much of a Von Trier fan, this is sure to be one of my favorites from the festival.
