Written while hospitalized for a depressive episode, Antichrist was influenced by von Trier’s anxieties and despair. Such is the case with Antichrist, a film that kicks off what’s been dubbed the Depression Trilogy (followed by Melancholia and Nymphomaniac). They also tend to be von Trier working through his feelings, either with humor or chaos, or both. They’re confrontational, controversial, and challenging on an emotional and psychological level, topped off with von Trier’s artful and languid pace. Lars von Trier films tend to be polarizing. For the films that use special effects of gore as an art form, and the fans that revel in the carnage, this series is for you. Dedicated to graphic gore and splatter, each week will explore the dark, the disturbed, and the depraved in horror, and the blood and guts involved. Butcher Block is a weekly series celebrating horror’s most extreme films and the minds behind them.
