Since it’s Monday premiere at Cannes Von Trier’s Antichrist has been the talk of the festival. With all the controversy surrounding the project it was unclear if a North American distributor would step up to the plate, thankfully IFC had the testicular fortitude to do exactly that. Von Trier paints a grim and gory tale of a couple who retreats to a cabin deep in the woods to recover from the death of their son when things go horribly wrong. IFC hasn’t set a release date yet, but I’m sure it will be available on-demand as well. I’ll keep you posted.

* At the press conference for the film Von Trier declared himself “The World’s Greatest Director”. He then pulled out a copy of Citizen Kane and proceeded to urinate on it screaming “Fuck you Rosebud, Fuck You Welles” Alright well the second part didn’t happen, but it should have.
