After the powder keg politics of Dogville and the largely ignored Manderlay, Lars Von Trier would probably benefit from giving the controversial subjects – and it looked like he would after pushing the final part of his States-baiting trilogy, Washington, onto the creative backburner.
But never let it be said that Von Trier doesn’t like to rattle cages, because his next target is religious attitudes. He’s announced that next summer he'll make Antichrist, a film based around the idea that God – or even the Big Bang - is not resonsible for creating our world. Nope, Satan himself brought the Earth into being.
Now if we remember our theology right - and it's entirely possible we don't - that's your basic 12th century Albigensian heresy right there. Yup, no-one’s going to complain about this one…
