“There was no pleasure in doing this film, I made myself write 10 pages of script every day. The only way to get out of bed was to make this decision and stick to it. When it came to filming, I was not mentally capable to hold the camera and shoot. I was helpless like an old man in a wheelchair. It was a humiliating way to work.” -The always cheery Lars Von Trier says working on his latest, slightly darker film “Antichrist” was similar to birthday parties at Chucky Cheese and fond childhood memories of Disney World.
“Antichrist” was acquired by IFC films at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival where it opened to mixed reviews and universal shock, it is currently set for a limited October 23 release date. [Guardian UK]
