Sign of the times? Apparently the film distributor Zentropa thought it wise to do pre-emptive censorship on the next Lars Von Triers movie. To which the director has agreed. There will be different versions, to cope with the sensibility of people in the "United States and Southern Europe, ... etc.".
Are they treating us like children, or am I missing something?

I am expecting to get a full uncut directors version available on blu-ray.

isn't this what the rating system is for?
heard a quote from the director yesterday saying it was the best / most important work he's ever done and now he's agreed to allow someone to censor it? how much did they pay him?

That movie looks so good. I am excited, and ready for the directors cut already.

"It opens with a slow-motion close-up of sexual penetration, veers into a dramatic escalation of violence, and climaxes with an excruciating shot of Gainsbourg slicing off her clitoris with a pair of scissors."
You'll miss the film if they don't cut it. It would never get released.

If "Salo" can get the Criterion treatment, no reason to not be able to get a director's cut of this.

Charlote Gainsbourg's father Serge was a genius,
if there was an antichrist award, he would have won it 10 years in a row, I grew up listening to his smoky drunken music.
btw he said "I want to fuck you" live on national tv to witney houston.
he fuckn rocked!!!

Anyone who believes in the anti-christ might as well believe in the tooth fairy and santa claus as well.

Actually, from what I've read, I think they're cutting it because that film implicitly says that the perfect place in the woods (Eden, and the World, by extent), was created by Satan and that God lives elsewhere. "Hell on Earth", that's a recurrent theme in Lars V. Triers.
Cutting it because it's too graphic can only mean one thing: someone thinks we didn't get it yet.

Maybe they think half the world missed "tubgirl", "beheading in Iraq" and "Saddam's hanging", not to mention TBO's animated gif of ismith rising.

that looks bad ass. I'd love to see a double-feature with that and the last temptation of Christ playing.
