I've got it but haven't watched it yet.

Loved it. Excellent performances, incredibly directed, harrowing and beautiful at the same time. The opening scene is jaw-dropping.

Really want the Criterion Blu-Ray once I get a multi-region player.

This is definitely on my 'too watch' last; I'm a big Trier fan for and have been for a long time so I'm very interested to see this.

Ah, AntiChrist, haven't watched it in a while, but it's definitely a film I loved. The performances of both were simply amazing.

considering that he said from the outset that he "wanted to shock the audience" and considering his pedigree...it surprises me that people who should know better had the hump with this film...i was more offended by Gamer (which i watched on the same night, just garbage and loud garbage at that...empty vessels make the most noise etc)
as you might tell i do like this film, its NOT perfect..and a bit silly at points (the fox) but im an awkward bugger at the best of times ahem.

I thought you were describing A Serbian Film:lol:

I found Antichrist a bit self-indulgent but ultimately well shot and well acted. The opening scene is superb and a contrast in tone and direction with the rest of the movie. Was it B&W or Sepia?:lol:

it's in my top ten. beautiful, amazing, stunning film, gets better and deeper with every watch. i think this and martyrs are the two most impressive horror films in a long time.

great film i love everything about it, his best work next to riget

Martyrs - whilst the later beating scenes are uncomfortable to watch, the pay off ending is superb. I've not seen it again and wonder if it's as powerful second time around. I love the way it begins with what looks like the ending of anotehr movie.

the end is what did it for me too, i was half-impressed all the way through but i did feel like it was a load of things i'd seen before loosely thrown together, then at the end it all come into perfect focus and really blew me away.
i haven't watched it a second time either, and i wonder how it holds up to repeated viewings also, but i suspect it will hold up well as all the individual scenes were so well done and nasty.
