Lars Von Trier's (Antichrist) "The House That Jack Built" causes 100+ walkouts at Cannes

[Zero]

If this shyt isn't playing into a proper story in some way and it's all for shock value then yes, that's garbage. The Hostel movies were garbage. etc.

This is where I'm at. shyt like Ichi The Killer is

The trailer only made me uneasy and i like gore. This just seemed ... off. The duckling getting its leg clipped, the dragged body....

In similar fashion to this whole Kanye shock value social media rollout, the points trying to be made don't seem to validate the process/steps taken to get there. It's what you do when you're not the edgy guy on the block anymore. You turn to senseless shock.

He has some pretty disturbing stuff. Antichrist features a scene where a woman cuts off her own clit off right after smashing her husband's penis with an object and then jerking it off and it cums blood.

Never was a fan of gore porn or graphic violence for its own sake. I would've passed just knowing whose film it was.

Those people just wanted the attention.

“I thought it was so funny!” Noé said about watching “The House That Jack Built” at Cannes. “Lars von Trier has a very cold humor, but I enjoyed it so much. It’s like a Todd Solondz movie, so dark. All the sadistic scenes were so funny that people were staring at me because I couldn’t stop laughing.”

a Noe & Lars film would be banned from every country

After watching a ton of disturbing films including Salo and a Serbian film (mild compared to Salo, that shyt was beyond fukked) I'm pretty much desensitized to this shyt.
Def gonna watch this
Looks like American Psycho kicked up a notch.


Stayed away from antichrist though because of the dik mutilation scene.
Lower body goes numb just reading about that

 

[Heretic]

I hope these aren't some of the same people that gave that pedo bs from last year a standing ovation at Sundance. fukk them hypocritical pieces of shyt.

 

[wenis]

That’s just the Cannes crowd overreacting per usual. It’s probably as gory as any horror movie out there. I’m expecting a Von Trier take on American Psycho with this one. Lots of black humor and gore.

Nicolas Winding Refn is close friends with Noe too, I always felt these three should form a stable of arthouse shock porn cinema.

And it would be gorgeous as hell.

While I understand it's a necessary vehicle for LvT's self-observation and Digressionism, I think he would've been better served to leave himself out of this film entirely (or at least under the guise of - ham-fisting his stream of consciousness is that of rabbit-hat magic at this point), and focus solely on its political and societal linings (in his words: "The House That Jack Built celebrates the idea that life is evil and soulless, which is sadly proven by the recent rise of the Homo trumpus – the rat king"), which aren't entirely absent from the mirror that shows his subversive, provocative self, but its material would've had greater effect, and therefore, would've been a better film.

In saying that, every single "Incident" is masterful in its own tongue-in-cheek way: the violence and sadism in all its macabre glory are relevant, fascinating, morbidly hilarious, and potent as any serial killer film I've seen.

The movie got seriously derailed because (and I'm paraphrasing here, but it's something like this) LvT gave a plot summary of the movie to the studio and one of the suits spoiled the whole plot in an interview. Originally it was supposed to be about them finding proof in the cabin that the devil made the world, and God had been dead and/or absent since then. Something like that. Which would've been dope.

So LvT had to pretty much throw some random shyt together during rewrites.
