First of all, big ups on going charter and teh blog, mate

Secondly, best of luck with a potential mini-siftup! Just remember that everybody wants to see lots of pics afterward!

Third, I saw the genital mutilation scene you referred to. Pretty bad, but if you've seen Ichi The Killer and the likes, you'll be able stomach it. *POTENTIAL MINI-SPOLER AFTER THE JUMP*

Besides, it's not there purely for shock value or anything. Think Oldboy. All around a decent von Trier film, and definitely great acting by Ms.Gainsbourg.

i like willem dafoe. I wish i could go to that it sounds awesome

I'll be seeing at least 25 films at the festival this year, though surprisingly, none of them will be Antichrist. It was between that and Broken Embraces; somehow, the new Pedro Almodovar / Penelope Cruz film won out over the Willem Dafoe / genital mutilation film. Don't know how.
