constantly pushing the limits. In 2009, he once again shook up the realm of
film with Antichrist. Starring Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg,
Antichrist is the horror story of a couple struggling after their child dies.
When the couple goes into a secluded cabin, they both retreat into a world of
violence, chaos and debauchery.

Video interview about Antichrist

Charlotte Gainsbourg Antichrist received the
Cannes Film Festival Best Actress Award as well as many other prestigious
awards. Despite all the positive reviews, there are still mixed feelings about
Antichrist, mostly due to a genital torture scene.

without really listening, you will get some upbeat ambience which you may be
tempted to call “peppy.” Then, try actually listening to the song. With lyrics
like “There’s thunder, there’s lightening in an avalanche of faces you know,”
you get the idea that there is something very dark going on beneath all the
peppiness.

For those of us who didn’t listen too closely to Charlotte
Gainsbourg Heaven Can Wait, there is always the freaky video to clue you into
all the dark undercurrents going on.

since she recorded the controversial song Lemon Incest with her dad back in
1984. At first, you would never think that such as shy voice could end up
sounding dirty or guttural. Then, you hear what happens when Beck gets his
hands on the singer/actress.

In Charlotte Gainsbourg Trick Pony, we get an
intense blast of anticipation with the processed kick drum background combined
with a very sultry voice (not shy anymore!). Who would have thought that a
French sweetie could be transformed into a distorted version of an American
blues singer in Trick Pony?
