Wow! Just got done watching Von Trier's new one - Antichrist..... erm..... whereas i'd love to recommend it, i can only say 'watch it' if you're quite happy with extreme sexual violence and brutality, to the extent that i haven't really seen since maybe Nekromantik. If you can get past that, then you may well enjoy some of the best imagery and cinematography (and indeed camera trickery) that i have witnessed in years. A deep film. Requires a bit of thinking. Check it out if you dare. www.imdb.com/title/tt0870984/I'm about to watch Grotesque (2009) - as it has been banned in the uk - f*ckers think they can stop me! Ha! Dunno why i do this to myself....

I've heard some good things about this... though I don't know if I really want to see Defoe's tacklebox or what happens to it (yikes!).
Is there a supernatural tinge to it, or is it all framed like "it could be real or hallucination"?
The other thing is, I don't really like Von Trier as a person (jerkitude of major proportions), particularly after the incidents of killing animals just to shock his actors (which was much less honest a thing than the use of dying animals in Cannibal Holocaust, at least for me)... thus if it does show up, not 100% sure that I'll see it. But the buzz on it does make it sound cool.

well, i don't want to add a slant to it or anything - so i can't really answer the supernatural question..... ....and mainly because as far as i can tell it's open to interpretation. i'd just say, watch for yourself and get from it what you will. yeah, i agree about von trier - never been a fan either, but this has a certain edge to it that i admire. reminds me of Nekromantik. it also has some real wtf moments! for example: at times, trees subtley begin to twist and contort on the peripherals of the screen - for no discernible reason. blink and you'll miss it type stuff. it's a real headf*ck!
