'Most Misogynist': Lars von Trier's 'Anti-Christ' Gets 'Anti-Prize' at Cannes Film Festival

AFP: Critics gasped, jeered and hooted — and at least four people fainted — during a preview of the movie, one of 20 films competing for the Palme d’Or top award to be handed out Sunday.







Cannes entered the final straight on Saturday with more controversy over “Anti-Christ” after the festival director denounced an “anti-prize” it received as an attempt at censorship.



Lars von Trier’s film was declared “the most misogynist movie from the self-proclaimed biggest director in the world” by an Ecumenical Jury which every year hands out a prize to a Cannes film that celebrates spiritual values.
