Beautiful Piece of Muddled Art You Might Never See  It’s rare
that I find myself truly indifferent to a film — especially a
film that is so clearly and openly divisive. But that’s exactly
how I feel about Antichrist: completely indecisive. I see both
sides, understanding the people who love it, voraciously
devouring every lyrical moment, while simultaneously getting why
people hate the living crap out of it. A deliberately offensive
opus of shock, this film will at some moment find something
disagreeable for everybody. But unlike most films that rely upon
shock, director Lars von Trier has no intention of making you
laugh. Quite the contrary. He wants to make you recoil. He wants
to challenge your sense of morality and taste. And he wants to
make you feel, one way or another.  But that’s not necessarily a
good thing.   So why is it getting rave reviews? Because it is
also one of the most beautifully shot, stylish, artistic films
you will ever see
