Antichrist - Lars von Trier

Posted by Daniel Montgomery On March - 24 - 2010 ADD COMMENTS

What if Ingmar Bergman had discovered torture porn? It’s a question no one asked, but the answer is Antichrist, a film that begins very good, becomes oblique by midpoint, and by the time it ends has taken leave of its senses, your senses, my senses — any and all manner of sense. What does any [...]

A Serious Man - Joel and Ethan Coen

Posted by Daniel Montgomery On March - 20 - 2010 1 COMMENT

The experience of watching A Serious Man I can only describe as an ordeal. I sat squirming in my chair, fidgeting, and then finally thrashing — yes, thrashing — in frustration. It instilled a claustrophobia that made me want to claw out of my skin.
