I must reccomend another masterfull musician :

Jordi Savall and his Hespèrion XXI early music ensemble.

here`s 2 most irrelevant links

at least one album in full, and /or a recorded concert should work at least partially . staggering .

@Kalten Krieg: Please click on the “Embed” button right below the video and copypaste the embed code which allows people to watch the videos directly on the thread. It’s actually a good way to let the remaining 50 minutes pass.

I would have thought Antichrist would have taken this

The Boss of It All, not a chance but Antichrist had some real grit to it

Apursansar, I tried to do that before and it didn’t work. Are you sure you’ve seen it work here before?

thx . just didn`t know how to do it :)

Here`s a piece by the same Jordi Savall : Greensleeves – 17 century english folk classical theme .

I found it recomended by someone. Flawless in any sense.

BAROQUE ROCK !!!!!!!

Antichrist 1 – No Day Off 0

The scene in No Day Off with the rich people talking about their expensive purchases was a bit too heavy handed for my taste. It put me off more than anything in Antichrist did.

Antichrist 1 v.s. No Day Off 0

Sure, Lars von Trier’s Antichrist can be alienating, terrifying, and even simply bizarre at times but Khoo’s incredibly one-sided perspective scares me far more than Antichrist. I believe that Antichrist is more of an honest film.

If we’re going to do Greensleeves, we’re going to do it right.

Are these youtube embeds people are posting? It isn’t showing up for me. I guess it’s a problem on my end.

Antichrist 0 vs. No Day Off 1

Antichrist was a log slog. Fabricate a black and white scene in slow motion with classical music playing and you’ll fool the arthouse crowd into thinking they’ve seen something beautiful or important. Extend these sentiments for a whole film and oh man you’ve made those fools a new turd to champion. Khoo’s film has its flaws as it does border an almost farcical way at presenting its characters, but ultimately it still maintains a high level of interest and relevancy.

almost missed this O_O

Antichrist 1 No Day Off 0

So I completely forgot about this competition…

No Day Off had its moments but left me wanting more especially after seeing the enchanting Be With Me.

Von Trier deserves this victory even though I wasnt a huge fan of Antichrist either. However it at least captivated me throughout.

both films are 3/5 for me

no , no .

do not vote AGAINST Jordi Savall & HESPERION XXI !!!
( Coltrane & John Cage have had and still are having their rightfull influence of the music of the last 40 years , but soaked in that much unclassified and rather scaring modernity you should look always to something perene and ethernal )

& here !!

& here !!!

it`s from a concert broadcasted on the european jazz & classical tv channel Mezzo . fulll listening recomended !

Adam, just wondering did you choose Antichrist just to prompt discussion on it?

Got Antichrist recorded on my DVR. Wish I had seen it in time- might have changed the outcome.

Well, strategically it made the most sense to me. It’s the weakest of what I consider to be von Trier’s great films, so it seemed to make sense to get started with it, and move on to a better film with each round. I knew it would be in tough, but if von Trier couldn’t make it through round 1 with Antichrist, he probably couldn’t make it to the end either.
