Se existiam dúvidas quanto ao facto de o Festival de Cinema de Cannes ser actualmente o melhor, a lista dos filmes em competição deste ano, é uma prova irrefutável disso mesmo.
Antichrist de Lars von Trier (já aqui mencionado por duas vezes), é um deles. Após a estreia neste certame, não tardaram a chover críticas (de todas as formas e feitios) um pouco por toda a net. Eis algumas delas:
Roger Ebert: “…goes beyond malevolence into the monstrous. Never before have a man and woman inflicted more pain upon each other in a movie. We looked in disbelief.” … “Whether this is a bad, good or great film is entirely beside the point. It is an audacious spit in the eye of society. It says we harbor an undreamed-of capacity for evil. It transforms a psychological treatment into torture undreamed of in the dungeons of history. Torturers might have been capable of such actions, but they would have lacked the imagination. Von Trier is not so much making a film about violence as making a film to inflict violence upon us, perhaps as a salutary experience. It’s been reported that he suffered from depression during and after the film. You can tell. This is the most despairing film I’ve ever have seen.”
FirstShowing: “I think I enjoyed it. See that’s the problem - Antichrist is fucked up. In a good way? Or in a bad way? Even I don’t know the answer to that question (or maybe that’s something you’ll decide for yourself), but I can tell you it’s one hell of an exhilarating experience watching this. My gut feeling coming out of it is that I actually liked it, screwed up or not.”
TheWrap : “an utterly strange and deeply perverted take on the horror genre.” … “At first, it’s an elegant grief drama. Then — suddenly, shockingly — it transforms into “The Shining” meets Evil Dead with green politics, torture porn and a fair amount of Lynchian abstractions.” … “heavily graphic moments keenly designed to make you cringe, including a couple of genitalia gags worthy of Jack Smith.” … “Gripped by the calculation of the design, I think I loved it, but might have been blindsighted by the sheer audacity of its twisted conception. Like many audience members from tonight’s crowd, I need to let it sit for awhile — in my nightmares, most likely."
Twitchfilm: "Lars von Trier may be anti-Christ but apparently God is anti-Lars. This morning’s Cannes screening of Antichrist? Projector broke thirty seconds in. This afternoon’s? Shut down by a major power outage. I’m waiting in line now for attempt three..."
A curiosidade por ver este filme era muita. Agora... tornou-se obrigatório!!!

Coincidência (ou não!!!) o engraçado é verificar que após a colocação desta crónica, o nº de (blogo)náufragos era, nem mais nem menos, do que 666.
Belo nº não???
