At the very least the parentheses are pretty yonic.

Certainly film critics were all in a fit when they found out that Antichrist had genital mutilation in it, but no one worth their salt accused Von Trier of being "10 years behind the times", or that Antichrist was "edgy" for the sake of being edgy, I think he's earned a little bit more credit than that.

People have been accusing Von Trier of being edgy for the sake of edgy for his entire career.

Von Trier comparing himself to Hitler was the marketing campaign for Melancholia.

Oh I'm definitely not saying it's baseless. Manderlay is the most "LOOK AT HOW SHOCKING THIS IS" bullshit I've ever seen.

Will they be uncomfortable? Isn't that kind of the point. Why is it we can all watch death and feel normal but sex makes us uncomfortable unless we are alone watching it on the Internet? If I feel uncomfortable watching sex then I want to not feel that way because sex is an amazing part of life.

But from the trailer it appears to be particularly violent, disturbing, unsettling sex and Von Trier is a director with a history of depicting that. Not to mention that his second-to-most recent movie, which he's said this forms the third part of a thematic trilogy with, contained multiple graphic scenes of genital mutilation.

I mean even if all your worst fears come true. It's violent and sexual and violent sexual and you projectile vomit from simply viewing it. Film doesn't have to be easy, it can be challenging and uncomfortable.

I don't think anyone said that wasn't the case.
