This guys films are full of some of the most extreme displays of humanity. I really dig them, but they're almost too much. If some horror is so violent it's called "torture porn", Lars Von Triers films are "psychological torture porn".

Tags for this video have been changed from 'willem dafoe, antichrist, dark, creepy, fox, lons von trier' to 'willem dafoe, antichrist, dark, creepy, fox, lars von trier' - edited by dingens

Ylvis now has their answer.

Also: tag mistakenly says "Lons Von Trier"? Should be Lars Von Trier.

easily the most disturbing movie i've ever seen.


no vote for enoch?
u make me sad =(

Did not see many movies this year, so I've only got 6 total on my list, which you should be thankful for, because I can't write film reviews worth a damn. Thanks for posting your list Sarzy, you've got great taste.


The Good

1) Drive - Awesome, like a more commercial, modern day Vanishing Point. Minimalist, tightly paced male action-fantasy with art-house nuance and an effectively simple score by Angelo Badalamenti. A real human being... and a real hero....

2) Super 8 - A nice homage to the Speilberg of the 80s, with some violent Abramsisms tossed into the mix. Not as deep as Spielberg, but still a great time at the theater.


The Bad

1) Harry Potter: Part 7: Part 2: Part 1 - booooooooooring

2) Melencholia - boooooooooooring. Remember when Lars Von Trier used to make good movies like Dogville and Dancer in the Dark? No more. The movie focuses on a loathsome, uninteresting family during the last few days of the Earth's existence. Very little happens. Then they die. The opening credits are beautiful and have more to say than the entire rest of the film.

3) Cowboys & Aliens - Complete failure to combine some tried and tested elements (The Western, Sci Fi, Harrison Ford and Jon Favrau).


The Ugly

1) Sucker Punch - It's a bold, beautiful, ambitious and highly imaginative disaster. Ridiculously stupid story. If you like terrible movies, this is one to put on your list. Supposedly the directors cut is even better/worse.

Seen it.

Be sure to watch the sequel, Manderlay, if you haven't yet! I think there's also a third movie (it was meant to be a trilogy) but I haven't seen it, if it exists.

Sarzy is right. Lars is a professional troll. Every film he makes, every word he says seems to be designed to provoke and challenge your expectations. He is also a first rate director, who even at his worst, makes thoughtful, well crafted films. Even the nauseating 'Anti-Christ' was beautifully executed.

Issy and I just recently saw Dogville and loved it. It's a brutal indictment of America, and in particular, the kind of glorified small town 'heartland' America that many Americans find sacred. It's a slow burn, so don't give up in the first act.

My guess is that he means he sympathises with him. That he understand where he was coming from. I don't think there is any more context for this, this clip pretty much encapsulates the entire "hitler" bit he said.>> ^ponceleon:

This seems out of context. I don't quite get what he means by "understand" him.

There appears to be an issue with votes since VS came back online. While votes are being registered correctly, the "who voted for this video" bits are not being updated. For example, I submitted this a few hours ago, and while it has votes, I can't see from who:

Likewise, this had 4 votes before the outage, but now has 7, yet only the original 4 people are showing up at the bottom:

Completely nude Kirsten Dunst, you say?

This is what it would look like if Lars von Trier directed an episode of Sesame Street.


That's the best comment I've seen here for a while

I think what's great about this clip is the fixed camera with animals running across and back. It doesn't actually need the Benny Hill music but that would make it brilliant.

This is what it would look like if Lars von Trier directed an episode of Sesame Street.
