Honestly ... this movie poster [
says] it all with out even saying a word.
from
thankUelfano[s] twitter last night... "OMfG! The lady sitting next 2me @ Antichrist just whispered 2 me "U [smell] like a sexual fantasy waiting 2happen" ACK! I need 2switch seats
about 19 hours ago from TwitterBerry " and {
THAT} is how I started my evening!
There was "
SHE" there was "
HE" there was "
EDEN" .. and then of course we have
death, we have
horror, there was
trauma, there was
sex, there were i
ntense mutilations [
beyond anything I'd ever seen before], there was
depression, amidst
depression, and there was [
well] so much "over-the-top[
ness]" that I just
had to laugh! [
perhaps at really awkward moments] throughout the film.. {lol} [
however one NOT so funny moment.. was that an audience memeber actually had a stroke [or something of the sort] they had to stop the film and then restart as ambulance[s] came and took the man away.] {of course there was speculation that the film caused such a reaction} but no one can be really sure] ...
Charlotte Gainsbourg[s] performance was flawless [
no wonder why she won best actress at Cannes!]
Willem Dafoe[s] "
piece" was on [
proud display] lol - but {
i was told later, that it was actually a PORN[star]DOUBLE for those shots} [
impressive none-the-least] ... but with all [
those] things aside,
ANTICHRIST [
to me] ... took the [
idea] of what a "
horror-flick' is [
supposed] to be .. and pushed it level[
s], its boundaries, and made it into something [new]{ish} and of course VERY VERY
VERY vonTRIER. Always eliciting a reaction, [
wether is be good or bad, happy or sad] he pushes your level[s] of emotions to the brink. The room was divided last night.
HATERS and
LOVER[s] .. some called him "
A GOD" other called him "
SATAN HIMSELF" ... people behind me left, the man sitting a few chairs down "spit" at the screen and left,.. it was causing reactions left and right, just like all the vonTrier films before that.. I mean remember
DOGVILLE and
DANCER IN THE DARK, and
THE IDIOTS! .. i mean, each of them causing violent reactions of love and hate. [
ps: I still can't believe I sat through ALL OF DOGVILLE!] HA! that one I really did almost walk out of! [
lol] ... so, with ALL of these things being said, I did enjoy it [
but hated the fact that I loved it] ... I enjoy the horror genre very much, and I do love a good "
audience participation" [lol] .. but, thought the intense violence and insanity, there was a beauty to the film, that captured the essence of a breakdown...of a depression...and [
for that] I give 5 stars to
Charlotte Gainsbourg for capturing the
essence of
vonTrier[s] vision! =} xo xo :el fano:
