Antichrist

2 out of 10 Gratuitous, over-the-top, up its own arse, pretentious, art-school bullshit that I'd expect from an immature, attention-seeking student, not a seasoned, successful film-maker. Is Lars von Trier like this all the time, I wonder? The film would like to think it's deep and challenging, but... it's just not. Visceral maybe, but also quite missable. Oh, and it's got a close-up slow-mo of Willem Dafoe 's erect penis and swinging balls in it too — you have been warned. That aside, some of the scenes were quite beautifully shot. Some of the acting in the earlier parts of the film was pretty good too. Pity it was all wasted in this nonsense of a film.
