Watched antichrist with a friend. I LOVED it, he HATED it.
I use capitals here to emphasise extreme viewpoints, both of us have been watching von triers work for years and are fans, though it must be pointed out i'm the bigger fan. (not a boast, even my pal himself would admit it.)
Antichrist is a tough film to sit through, and not at all rewarding for people looking for a straight ahead horror movie. Give the film a chance, open your mind (and make sure to watch it on blu-ray) and the film is actually hugely rewarding. Still not sure what it all means (is it myogynistic, trolling for controversy, or a skillful dissection of feminist issues and self loathing?)
But its given me plenty to think about.
