Lars Von Trier's Movie Playing Locally

Currently Lars Von Trier's critically acclaimed movie, Anit-Christ, starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg is playing at Landmark Midtown Arts Cinema.

The movie is about a grieving couple that retreats to 'Eden,' their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse… Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg

(winner of the Best Actress Award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival) give brave, outstanding performances in the new provocation from writer/director Lars von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville). Antichrist is a totally uncompromising psychological horror film conceived and made while the director was experiencing emotional challenges in his own life. Reviewing the intense and controversial film at its Cannes premiere, Roger Ebert called it "powerfully made" and continued: "The performances by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg are heroic and fearless…Von Trier's visual command is striking…And if you can think beyond what he shows to what he implies, its depths are frightening…Von Trier has reached me and shaken me."
