When I first saw Antichrist (a Lars von Trier film!!) at this year's NYFF, the press screening was punctuated with a plethora of hisses and guffaws. Why do people hate this movie so? Beats me. Sure it's pretentious and condescending and pretty fucking arrogant, but c'mon guys, it is Lars von Trier afterall - what the Hell did you expect!? Anyway, I think the film is brilliant, not in spite of its pretentiousness and/or arrogance, but because of it. Bravo you mad mocking maestro you.
