You want more “Antichrist,” and more vile crud from the sick mind of Lars Von Trier, yes? Perhaps more shots of rusty scissors mutilating female genitalia or ball point hammers smashing innocent and unconscious penises?
Mmm, ok, you’re probably not going to get that, but if you want to see more gorgeous frames from the film, shot in stunning black and white and color (vacillating back and forth sometimes, like LVT’s noted inspiration on this picture Andrei Tarkovsky). There’s no shots of the talking fox, but you do get a tiny peak at the the screeching crow and you do get more gorgeous and haunting looks Anthony Dod Mantle cinematography. “Antichrist” hits theaters in limited release on October 23. Presumably this New York, L.A. limited-run debut will be the full-on director’s cut, and anything that comes after (especially On-Demand), will be a safer, non-genital mutilating edition. “Antichrist” stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a nameless couple who suffer the loss of a child and then escape to an Eden in the woods to heal their soul-crushing wounds, but in the forests, things take a turn for the creepy, horrific and strange.
