I thought this was going to be a post more about LvT's Antichrist. So here's my two cents:
I think this film helped me realize that I can take graphic images and situations lightly if I see it is as painting am allegorical picture (e.g. genital mutilation and witchcraft). And this versus Hostel, which was gore just for gore's sake.
Also LvT is one of those directors that I can say I have not disliked any of his films (along with T. Malick, PTA, T. Solondz). One that came close though was Manderlay, only because he's German and it felt like he was preaching to us Americans...but I liked the story.
P.S. I am trying to figure out how LvT pulled off that shot of the deer and the stillborn hanging out halfway.

Absolutely nothing wrong with that. I LOVE a good gorefest. Have you ever seen movies by Herschell Gordon Lewis? Fantastic stuff.

Not to be a smartass but but he's Danish
and I haven't seen Manderlay but it seems weird for a Danish director to do a movie about the South with slaves and such. I'll hold my judgement.
