i watched antichrist, and i wasnt impressed in the slightest.

he made Dafoe look like a little boy with his blue little t shirt and bangs. Charlotte Gainsbourg or whatever was great, she usually is in the movies i have watched of his with her in them.

but my god, it was not shocking or brutal or controversial at all to this viewer.

i think i understand that Lars von Trier tries to do that with his films, push some sort of shock value or controversy to sell them or whatever. totally not a fan. the beginning of the film was just gay slow motion with dramatic music and sex and a death.

i went in there with a clear mind, no hatred at all.

i stand by me calling him pretentious after viewing this film. i dont know much about the guy as i really dont care about him all too much and would rather let someones work speak for itself and then i will start to dig into the man behind the films. but he really hasnt garnered my attention yet. i think i have watched 4 or 5 of his films already.

i do however want to watch that little tv series or whatever he did entitled The Kingdom. im having a very hard time tracking that down, even a stream of it.
