Exclusive Interview: Chris Alexander talks to Lars Von Trier about Antichrist
12 November 2009 8:33 AM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
One of my favorite contemporary filmmakers has long been Danish enfant terrible Lars Von Trier. From the wrenching delirium of Breaking The Waves, to the vulgar, experimental excess of The Idiots, to the haunting musical melodrama of Dancer In The Dark to the mad stunt Dogville, there really is no one else alive like Von Trier...and he knows it.
And now he's made a horror film.
Perhaps you've heard of Antichrist, the mind bending, soul wounding art house exploitation masterpiece starring singer turned actress Charlotte Gainsbourg (daughter of Jane Birkin and iconic French pop culture figure Serge Gainsbourg) as a woman driven into sexually charged madness - and beyond - by the accidental death of her toddler son.
Read my review of the film here and check out Fangoria's coverage of the film in the current issue.
Imagine my surprise then, when the opportunity arose for me to interview my living idol, »

“Ticket Stubs” Review: ‘Antichrist’ - Lars Von Trier’s controversial award winner

“Ticket Stubs” review of ‘Antichrist‘ by Austin Lugar
for MovieSet.com
In all regards, you should not watch ‘Antichrist‘. My position as a reviewer is to guide you into seeing or not seeing a film by providing my own opinions. Throughout this review, I shall remark a lot of the achievements of this film, but I warn you this is not a recommendation.
So why shouldn’t you see a film that I will label as technically good? When you look as Lars Von Trier’s canon, there are a variety of films designed to make you feel uneasy. His greatest films in my mind (Dogville, Dancer in the Dark, Breaking the Waves) are films that I have no interest in experiencing for a second time. Von Trier has the uncanny ability to delve in to the dark parts of the human psyche and create remarkable works of art from it. »

tMF Perspectives: Lars von Trier's Antichrist, Roger Ebert and Dogville's 'Poetic effect'!
25 October 2009 6:26 PM, PDT | The Movie Fanatic | See recent The Movie Fanatic news »
If you're going to ask me who is one of today's most controversial filmmakers, I would not hesitate with my answer: Lars von Trier. His latest film, Antichrist, "managed consistent sell-outs in New York City" [ INDIEWire reports ]. In addition to the box office results, there are two particular reviews I'm very interested about: CNN's and Roger Ebert's... - - -
- - - CNN called the movie 'an atrocity', while Roger Ebert, who once wrote a scathing review of von Trier's Dogville [ more about this Golden Palm winner after the jump], has this to say:
More than anything else, I responded to the performances. Feature films may be fiction, but they are certainly documentaries showing actors in front of a camera. Both Dafoe and Gainsbourg have been risk takers, as anyone working with von Trier must be. The ways they're called upon to act in this film are extraordinary. They respond without hesitation. More important, they convince. [ read more ]

'Antichrist': Lost In The Woods, By Kurt Loder
23 October 2009 6:51 AM, PDT | MTV Movie News | See recent MTV Movie News news »
The movie that scandalized Cannes finally arrives Stateside. Your move.
Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe in .Antichrist.

Lars Von Trier's "Antichrist" is a curious mash-up of cutting-edge torture-porn and good old porn-porn that fails on both fronts. Despite some wild gore touches that might draw gasps of admiration from the likes of Eli Roth, the picture is too preoccupied with Von Trier's dismal deep thoughts to exert the crass visceral grip an effective splatter flick requires. And despite a few graphic sex shots, the movie is coldly anti-erotic. What it most precisely evokes are the art-film pretensions of the early 1960s, when European auteurs could get away with a line like "acorns don't cry" and American aficionados were disinclined to complain. (Imagine how those old Resnais and Antonioni head-scratchers might have been enlivened by a few strategically placed insertion shots!) The movie's most problematic aspect, though, »
In Theaters: Antichrist
21 October 2009 2:30 PM, PDT | Movieline | See recent Movieline news »
The films of Lars von Trier, the brilliant, bellicose Danish director of The Idiots, Breaking the Waves and Dogville. Von Trier's work -- sometimes uneven and grasping, often sustained and commanding -- aspires to the condition of exquisite, immersive poetry, that is, to be felt, rather than questioned, analyzed, critiqued. His dark fables of human extremity intend to swallow, if not defy digestion. Which is why, when the first, trembling reports began filtering out of Cannes about Antichrist, the first thing I felt was envy. With von Trier's films especially I strive for an ascetically clean slate, and I wouldn't have that pure experience now -- I might never know my true reaction -- because von Trier had clearly made a film that would become unavoidable. And yet having seen the film, my envy was somewhat allayed: I can't be certain, but I suspect my reaction in France would have »

Bringing a splash of Hollywood glamour to Capitol Hill, Australian movie star Nicole Kidman has testified before lawmakers as part of her effort to stop violence against women around the world.Kidman, a goodwill ambassador for the United Nations Development Fund for Women (Unifem), told Congress on Wednesday that violence against women and girls was "perhaps the most systematic, widespread human rights violation in the world."I am far from an expert, I rely on the people I've met to make the case," admitted the actress, adding that it "recognizes no borders, no race or class."Representatives at a House Foreign Affairs subcommittee have been hearing testimony as they debate the International Violence Against Women Act, which could influence Us foreign policy in relations with countries where women's rights are not respected.Kidman said systematic rape in ethnic conflict, forced marriage at an early age »
Sexual Perversity in Denmark: An Interview with Lars von Trier
21 October 2009 4:41 AM, PDT | ifc.com | See recent IFC news »
What does it take to be hailed the bad boy of Danish cinema? Among other feats, Lars von Trier co-signed the Dogme 95 manifesto, forcing regimented rules upon filmmakers in a cry for anti-blockbuster honesty. His own entry, "The Idiots," pissed people off for featuring able-bodied adults pretending to find their "inner spazz." He began two trilogies he has no intention of finishing (though one of the main actors from "The Kingdom" died after Part II), and forced aging mentor Jørgen Leth to remake his own short film with multiple sets of no-win restrictions in the experimental doc "The Five Obstructions." More notoriously, von Trier has plucked amazing performances out of actresses who don't seem to want to work with him again, including Nicole Kidman (who blamed scheduling problems for why she couldn't reprise her lead role in "Dogville" in the sequel "Manderlay") and "Dancer in the Dark" star Björk, who »

No More Happy Endings for Lars von Trier.
16 October 2009 2:17 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
The director of gut-wrenching films such as Dancer In The Dark, chalk line experimental films about America (Dogville), and the co-founder of a movement of pure cinema known as Dogma, Lars Von Trier returns to the realm of Science Fiction with a psychological disaster film called Planet Melancholia. The title refers to an enormous planet illustrated on the press release that looms threateningly close to Earth. Budgeted at around E5 million ($7 million), the film is set for a European 2010 shoot. Casting of international cast is currently under way and the film will be shot in English. As for what he's going for with the film, he had only one thing to say: "No more happy endings!" Yes, because von Trier's work up to this point has always ended on a bright note. More intriguing is the note from producer Peter Aalbaek Jensen, who said the film will feature "a mix of spectacular, »

Nyff: Antichrist
1 October 2009 3:45 AM, PDT | TribecaFilm.com | See recent Tribeca Film news »
Lars von Trier has always been international cinema's enfant terrible provocateur, but with his latest, Antichrist, he has truly outdone himself. Antichrist is the story of a couple whose young child dies; grieving after, the husband, a therapist (Willem Dafoe) makes the bright decision to take his depressed wife (Charlotte Gainsbourg) out into the woods, so that she can confront her worst fears there. If the title doesn't give you enough of a hint, suffice it to say that things do not end well. In the past, von Trier's provocations have always felt like a necessary, powerful pushing of his thematic points (especially in Dogville, his masterpiece), but in Antichrist one begins to get the feeling that the filmmaker's provocations are outrunning the films themselves. In Dogville or Breaking the Waves, the provocations felt earned, which is not the case here. After the jarring climax and denouement, critics were treated »
Tiff Takeaway: America the Unbeautiful
20 September 2009 12:49 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Tiff 2009 is the year America took it on the chin. In past fests, especially Cannes, we could usually thank Lars Von Trier for savaging the U.S. in such wicked parables as Dogville. But this time around it's mostly American filmmakers who find the amber waves have turned, well, brown. At the same time the Americans have delivered razor-smart entertainments that double as spot-on reports about the zeitgeist. The Joneses from first-time director Derrick Borte states its case against American consumerism like some fire and brimstone sermon. Meet the titular handsome family of four (Demi Moore, David Duchovny and their offspring, Amber Heard and Ben Hollingsworth) as they take up residence in a spanking new McMansion in some gated enclave. It soon becomes creepily apparent we're dealing with a faux family that's been... »

Signatures: Patricia Clarkson
1 September 2009 8:05 PM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »
Adam of Club Silencio here with another look at my favorite actresses and their distinguishing claims to fame.
Patricia Clarkson is one the best supporting actresses alive. But the truth is, she's not always that supportive. While she's busy outshining whoever's in the lead spotlight, Patricia's characters are playing on the sidelines to their own cinematic agendas. She drifts into the background, glowing of warmth, wit and maturity. Much like a cinematic confidant, Patricia Clarkson's reliably brilliant even in her most minuscule moments. But to rely on Patricia Clarkson is to fall into the same trusting trap as her on-screen counterparts. She builds you up, holds you close and then pulls the rug out from under you.
Take Far From Heaven's vivacious socialite, Eleanor Fine, who teases the conflicted Cathy Whitaker (Julianne Moore) about her reputation for "kindness to negroes." They share plenty of tawdry laughs and idle gossip, »

Bsb: Lars Von Trier's Antichrist
29 August 2009 8:32 AM, PDT | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »
To be a parent is to experience primal joy. To be a parent is also to be cast into a flaming pit of paranoia, anxiety and gnawing fear. Nature has designed us to protect and love our offspring, to cradle and nurture them, to adore them and keep them from harm. It is because of this instinctual wiring that we, as parents, do in fact live in constant horror. We wonder, what if illness claimed them? What if some sickening sidebar of humanity parlayed their repellent egocentric dark side into taking them away from us? And if anything ever did happen to them…selfishly, we ask….how in God’s good name would We cope with it?
Danish master of manipulation and melodrama Lars Von Trier understands where true dread, where real horror lurks and it’s firmly ensconced within the cavernous, often uncharted recesses of the human mind. Von »
