I really understood the genius of Dogme 95 when, working on the professional shoot of one of my buddies' short film, we spent half a day adjusting the lighting, putting stuff on windows to make them darker, building a ramp for an actress in order to cheat with the perspective and finding the right timing for the adjustment of the focus. All that for a shot that did not make the final cut. Dogme 95 is mostly about eliminating the bullshit that gets in the way of making film, it's a liberation that is simultaneous with the availability of compact and affordable digital cameras (just like 16mm for the New Wave).

Knowing nothing about Dogme 95 other than what I find in the wikipedia article linked, doesn't the trailer conflict with rule 10 (The director must not be credited) when his name flashes a dozen times through the trailer? Also, doesn't rule 2 mostly go out the window for Antichrist?
That said, I didn't come here to discuss the director or his method of film-making. I'll probably end up watching this for the fucking.

Did anybody watch this movie? I caught the first part and found it pretty enjoyable if somewhat hard to watch. Uma Thurman was really good in a small part (one scene). The part with her Dad in the hospital was fucking gut wrenching.

Going to watch the second half tonight.

Supposedly Trier split it in two parts a bit reluctantly for the theater release. On BluRay it should be a another cut that merges the two parts into the one film he had in mind originally. I am waiting for that version.
