Auteur, misogynist, visionary… Nazi? Lars von Trier has seen plenty of praise and derision throughout his career as the filmic enfant terrible of Denmark. His work portrays a man with uncompromising, often times bleak views of the human condition, or lack thereof. His cinema also leaves an impression, regardless of what you think of von Trier, which should be commended in and of itself. As the director personally points out, “A film should be like a rock in the shoe.” Throughout the month, the Fenway is about to get a lot more interesting as the Museum of Fine Arts will be presenting a sample of some of the filmmaker’s best work, from his debut 1980s sci-fi detective story THE ELEMENT OF CRIME to the 2009 exploitation/art film ANTICHRIST that’ll have you saying “ouch.” What more could be desired from the self described “best film director in the world”?
