Here’s Mike D’Angelo’s hilarious letter to Von Trier after watching “Antichrist” at Cannes.

Lars Von Trier is one of the most enigmatic filmmakers working today. “Dancer in the Dark” and “Breaking the Waves” remain two of my favorite films, and even though “Manderlay” and “Dogville” were virtually impossible to watch all the way through, I will always be interested to see what he does next. Apparently that something is “Antichrist,” a new horror film starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg that looks like it has more in common with David Cronenberg than Eli Roth.

The synopsis: A grieving couple retreats to their cabin ‘Eden’ in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. Sounds vague enough, but I think its pretty funny that it has a little bit of Shyamalan’s “The Happening” in the premise. If nature takes its course, is he talking about human nature or those pesky, toxic-releasing trees? The movie premieres at the Cannes Film Festival in May, and will hopefully make it to our shores soon after.
