#LARS VON TRIER ANTICHRIST FULL MOVIE ONLINE TV#
One final note before getting to the ranking of von Trier’s filmography is that the only notable omissions here are his 1988 telefilm Medea, and that of the Danish TV miniseries The Kingdom (1994) and The Kingdom II (1997), as they were never widely released cinematically, though it does slot in spectacularly as some of his most enjoyable and from out-of-left-field work. And all of this from Cannes despite his being briefly banned and labelled “persona non grata” after a 2011 press conference promoting Melancholia got out of hand. It’s the women I identify with in all my films.”Īmong his many accolades, von Trier has received the Palme d’Or (for Dancer in the Dark), the Grand Prix (for Breaking the Waves), the Prix du Jury (for Europa), and the Technical Grand Prize (for The Element of Crime and Europa) at the Cannes Film Festival. “The male protagonists in my films are basically all idiots who don’t understand shit,” says von Trier, adding: “Whereas the women are much more human, and much more real. This internationally acknowledged movement involved the “Dogme 95 Manifesto” and the “Vows of Chastity” were meant to emphasize traditional storytelling devices while eschewing elaborate special effects or technology, and is still practiced by filmmakers to this day, though von Trier himself has largely left it behind since the 90s.Īpart from his often brutal and burning approach to controversial subject matter, von Trier’s films consistently present strong female leads, and his female-centric films are often compared to other great European filmmakers like Michelangelo Antonioni and Ingmar Bergman for this very reason. Because of his often bold and spurring modus operandi, von Trier courts controversy with almost every new film he actualizes.Īs an auteur-director, von Trier has inspired many of his peers via his financial independence and total creative control over his many projects, all made through his production company Zentropa Entertainment, which he founded in 1992 with producer Peter Aalbæk Jensen.Ī key architect along with fellow Danish filmmakers Thomas Vinterberg––and to a lesser but still considerable extent Søren Kragh-Jacobsen and Kristian Levring––they concocted the cinematic movement called Dogme 95. Von Trier is also identified with his often adversarial approach to studying and scrutinizing themes of existentialism, sociopolitical issues, mental health intellection, as well as spirituality and faith traditions. The Danish born firebrand is recognized, even by his detractors, for his numerous technical innovations, his willingness to experiment, and his fondness for upending genre conventions. Meanwhile the planet Melancholia is heading towards earth, setting off a distructive chain of physical and psycological events.Confrontational provocateur Lars von Trier has, over a prolific filmmaking career now bridging nearly four decades, amassed an admirable, distinct, powerful, and frequently polarizing body of work. The trailer sets the scene: Kirsten Dunst’s character Justine is celebrating her wedding to Michael ( Alexander Skarsgard) at the luxurious home of sister Claire (Gainsbourg) and brother-in-law John (Sutherland). Melancholia promises to do for the sci-fi genre what Antichrist did for torture porn. It is Von Trier’s first feature since the controversial Antichrist, which also featured Gainsbourg. The film, billed as a “beautiful movie about the end of the world” stars Kirsten Dunst, Kiefer Sutherlandand Charlotte Gainsbourg.
