this movie: "dedicated to andrei tarkovsky"
me: andrei sweetie im literally so sorry im so sorry this ugly ass bitch would even say that. oh my god.
i have a very weird relationship with lars von trier, as all of us do i think. i fucking hate his movies, but i actually don't, but i really do, but not really and i can't stop watching them when i really should but i really don't want to but i really do and it's all just......... wack
You can say alot of things about lars von trier both good and bad but you can never say he didn't serve up enough provocative portions of psychological gobbledygook to keep us chewing on our cud for days on end!
The opening scene in black and white is unbearably beautiful! If you look at it too long your retinas will surely fry for they have never been ravaged by such exquisite imagery!
The slo mo acts of unbridled amour accompanied by the intensely haunting aria Lascia ch'io pianga have been seared into your memory, the branding iron still stinks of burnt flesh! The other shoe falls an innocent young life is taken! You hear the sizzle as the iron finds…
So.....I guess von Trier took the whole 'torture porn' thing too literally.
I can take the pretentiousness and can forgive the self-indulgent ramblings and thickly laid on self-importance.
I can even stand the yucky bits.
What I can't stand is the shallow, cold and completely unengaging treatment of its potentially intriguing subject matter.

Over on the Internet Movie Database, someone once described Lars Von Trier as, and I quote, ‘an arty wanker’.
Now, although that is perhaps the most unsophisticated and rudimentary way of expressing it, they did have a point. It isn’t hard to see why Trier could be considered pretentious, especially with his most controversial outing yet, Antichrist.
To say it is unforgettable is a gross understatement. Rather, for better or worse, it sears itself into your subconscious, tapping its way into your most deep seated fears. It is a film that will astonish and infuriate in equal measure, a film that cannot be simply watched, but felt. The exact emotions felt will…
Dear Lars von Trier,
Hello incel, first I wanted to say fuck you for dedicating this pretentious ass movie to Andrei Tarkovsky, I hate you for that. Also, thank you so much for reminding me that women are either hysterical or evil. And yes, good thinking, you can trick people into thinking a sequence is good by making it black and white and slow-mo while random classical music plays, nice touch. Also, I have to compliment you for making a completely meandering and pointless film that is so confused and directionless it made me angry. But hey, it’s ok I forgive you because that penis squirting blood scene was top notch. So far I hate your work.
Sincerely,
Your #1 Fan

Men. take it a step further. don’t just go to therapy, feel inspired to become the therapist you were always meant to be
Seeing Willem Dafoe’s dick literally ruined my week, thank you Lars von Trier.
Never try and mansplain psychology to a woman that ascribes to Wiccanism
, worst mistake of my life!!!!!
Best possible outcome for a film made by someone who doesn't understand the diffrence between good and bad ideas. One of the worst opening sequences of all time but nethertheless if you were gonna repurpose solaris stylistically to be about your own depression you could do alot worse
Hakkının yendigini dusundugum bi film oldugu icin uzun bi reviews giricem Lars von Trier saygısına. Oncelikle senaryoyu depresyon doneminde rehabilitasyonda yazmis ve filmi Tarkovski’ye adıyor. Sebebi
**1983'de çektiği tempo di viaggio isimli belgeselde tarkovski şöyle der:"çok hoşuma giden bir sahne var. belki bir gün bundan bir film çıkarabilirim...bir adamın karısını ateşe vermesi ile ilgili. sadece karısı ona gerçeği söylemediği için, çünkü yalan söylüyor. yalanlar o kadar da önemli değil, anlıyor musun? kadın adamı çok seviyor, adam da kadını. çok harika bir kadın, birbirlerini çok seviyorlar ve harika bir ilişkileri var. ama kadın bazı şeyleri uyduruyor. dışarı çıkıyor ve geri geldiğinde adam soruyor, 'neredeydin?'. kadın sebebini kendisinin de bilmediği bir şekilde yalan söylüyor. adam kadınla mücadele ediyor ama kadını yalan söylediğine…
Incredible cinematography but this movie made me feel EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Also, that d1ck scene... I-
Eu gostar tanto desse filme revela mais sobre a relação que tive com minha mãe que eu gostaria de imaginar
If I met von Trier in the street I would run far, far away from the man. This film is terrifyingly surreal and I'm pretty sure it gave me heart palpitations. As with everyone else I'm baffled by the fact that he chose to dedicate this to Tarkovsky. In the least it gave me a laugh after 40 minutes of confusion and cringing in horror
i love how lars von trier adds a different layer to horror in this. you almost feel their pain. William dafoe was made for weird horror roles. between his performance in this and the lighthouse it shows how the horror genre needs more actors like him willing to do odd screenplay
