I believe the source, IndieWire, has cropped the still slightly for public display but here you have it: The first image from Antichrist. That is the crazy Dane's on again, off again horror project that is finally going to see the light of day at this years Cannes festival. That is Willem Dafoe's tush at the edge of the frame. (A bigger version of image is here).
A couple (Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg) mourning the loss of their child retreat to a cabin in the woods, where they soon encounter strange, terrifying occurrences. Cruelty between the sexes ensues.
Odd...
I get a definite Ken Russel vibe from this.
Lars Von Trier... I can't stand the guy.
I definitely think Von Trier is way overrated. But I don't have a problem with Dafoe.
I think Lars Von Trier can be a bit overhyped at times but, Dancer In The Dark and Element Of Crime are both brilliant as far as I'm concerned.I don't really know enough about this film to know if it'd worth the effort to try and see it but, I am a huge fan of Willem Dafoe so yeah...
