<\/a><\/em>Lars von Trier film “Antichrist” shocks Cannes<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

CANNES, France (Reuters) – Danish director Lars von Trier elicited derisive laughter, gasps of disbelief, a smattering of applause and loud boos on Sunday as the credits rolled on his drama “Antichrist” at the Cannes film festival.<\/p>\n

The film, starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg as a couple seeking to overcome the grief of losing their only child, has quickly become the most talked-about at this year’s festival, which ends on May 24.<\/p>\n

Cannes’ notoriously picky critics and press often react audibly to films during screenings, but Sunday evening’s viewing was unusually demonstrative.<\/p>\n

Jeers and laughter broke out during scenes ranging from a talking fox to graphically-portrayed sexual mutilation.<\/p>\n

Many viewers in the large Debussy cinema also appeared to take objection to von Trier’s decision to dedicate his film to the revered Soviet director Andrei Tarkovsky. Applause from a handful of viewers was drowned out by booing at the end.<\/p>\n
