Homes for Butterflies

I’m going to resist the urge to tell you everything about the movie Anti Christ and somehow convey that you need to see this film.  It’s beautiful, it’s haunting, it’s entirely fucked up.  Since leaving the theatre I cannot shake the imagery and I don’t plan to.  What I saw was THE most uncomfortable cinema experience of my life and I loved it.  Charlotte Gainsbourg deserves every bit of praise she receives for this role and Willem Dafoe clearly proves he is a fearless actor (and a damn good one at that).

Lars Von Trier said that Anti Christ is the most important film of his career.  I believe that fully.  I urge you to see Anti Christ in theatres- but as most people will not get the chance, you must await it’s dvd release impatiently.  You will not see a movie as good as Anti Christ that is equally crazy.  If there is a film out there equally as disgusting or even moreso- I can guarantee it will not be as spectacularly directed.

The synopsis I read for Anti Christ is a bit misleading… but when you find out what the movie’s truly about and let all the scenes and messages absorb into your psyche after seeing it… you’ll probably end up loving it more and more as the minutes pass on.

I have no desire to see it again because I honestly don’t want to sit through some of those scenes a second time.  And if I do have to sit through it?  I will undoubtedly look away and close my eyes because once was enough for me.

Anti Christ is as insane as one can get while still being 100% grounded in reality.  That’s the true horror.
