Lord Have Mercy! Von Trier’s “Antichrist” Finds U.S. Home

by Brian Brooks

IFC Films goes for two Wednesday with its second Cannes acquisition announcement of the day. Lars Von Trier’s much ballyhooed and debated “Antichrist” will come to the U.S. after all. Von Trier, whose fiery press conference, which managed to both polarize and excite the Cannes Film Festival, set off a debate among many insiders about whether the film was releasable in America. IFC said the cut will be the same version screened in Cannes.

Arianna Bocco, Vice President of Acquisitions and Co-Production for IFC Films negotiated the deal with Susan Wendt of TrustNordisk. The deal marks the third time IFC Films has worked with Lars Von Trier and TrustNordisk. The company previously distributed “Manderlay” and “The Boss of it All.”

Starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, the Dogme 95 director’s latest thriller follows the story of a grieving couple who retreat to their cabin in the woods, “Eden,” hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things evolve badly.

“Since it premiered at Cannes on Monday, we haven’t been able to stop talking or thinking about ‘Antichrist,” said IFC Entertainment president Joanthan Sehring in a statement. “It is a towering work of cinema by one its greatest directors. We are incredibly excited to bring this film to America and expect it to have a major impact on audiences not only in America but worldwide.”

I'll be honest, I can't wait to see this. It isn't just the controversy, it's what a few critics are saying about how powerful and disturbing the film is, and almost everyone agrees that its visuals are masterfully achieved...if horrifying at times.

I've loved Lars' prior efforts, and Antichrist looks like a winner in my book. I just can't relate to the negative comments about this movie; disturbing? bring it on!

[Ray Jackson]

On a scale of 1-10, how difficult is this movie to watch?

[Dj9iron]

Kind of depends what mood you’re in… one heck of a film that’s for sure!!! Beautifully shot, exceptional cinematography and imagery… and pretty disturbing with a gut wrench!!!! Basically right up my alley… I actually sold my criterion though hoping that this will get the 4K treatment soon!!!

[WorldForgot]

Yeah I watched this right after losing my mom and it really helped me deal with the feeling of grief. It was the opposite of tough to watch.

[clamcakes]

I've tried three times to watch it and I never get very far.

The movie is great but I'm a huge fan of Von Trier. If you haven't seen his films you'll probably have a hard time watching this.

[Blu Lemmy]

I own it, have done for a couple years....still haven't found myself in the correct mood to watch it

[Alashington]

This made me think they should do a Omen remake with Baron
