Lars von Trier, along with Thomas Vinterberg is the father of the cinematic movement Dogme95. Dogme95 is a movement centered on making films immersed and soaking in pure honesty. It concentrates on the purity of film and rejects the need for big budgets and special effects opting to place every thought and effort solely on story, characters, and the actors performances. This includes having no sets. Everything shot by a filmmaker attempting to make a film that would be considered Dogme95, must be shot on location with no exception.
From this came the first non porn film with unsimulated sex entitled
The Idiots. All the stuff about Dogme95 aside, the man makes films that are an experience to say the least. You may not love, like, hate, or even be sure of what you saw but it will definitely be a unique, raw and visceral experience.
This is Lars von Trier's newest film, Antichrist.
