Will it be neutered in the U.S.?
IFC Films is going to distribute Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist, starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, when it hits the States.
“Since it premiered at Cannes on Monday, we haven’t been able to stop talking or thinking about Antichrist” IFC Entertainment president Jonathan Sehring told The Hollywood Reporter.
This is the third time IFC has stepped up to release a Von Trier picture after the titles The Boss of It All and Manderlay. IFC has been making a mark in the genre acquiring titles for their VOD service. It’s unknown if they plan to debut Antichrist on demand or give it a limited theatrical run.
And for those worried that the film might suffer unkind cuts for the U.S. release, fear not. IFC reps say the cut screened here will be fully intact and the same one shown to Cannes audiences.
