Antichrist Superstar: Rule of Threes Resurrected

1. Holy hell. Antichrist, the film, might have ruined my life. And on top of that, it was one of the most beautifully shot films I’ve ever seen. Talk about content versus craft. Fuck.

2. I dreamed last night that I had a reading in front of 1,000 or so people, and I hadn’t prepared. Got up on stage and couldn’t decide which poems to read. Blake Butler offered to read one of my poems for me, but I wouldn’t let him and proceeded to babble and choke my way through something until some audience member began playing the piano…

3. A girl I like:

      Yes, absolutely, re: form/content/Antichrist. The content is diverting due attention from some of the best cinematography of last year. That’s what ultimately resonates for me: the horrifying telescopic zoom into a vase on a tabletop, the semiliminal faces in the blur of trees from a train window. Von Trier’s early films, the Europe trilogy in particular, are full of these sorts of startlers. In this way, Antichrist is a welcome return to form.

      You were smart to not let Blake read that thing.
