The film, which mixes violence, humanity and erotica, was a huge hit at the Cannes Film Festival. Charlotte Gainsbourg's wonderful performance in it conquered the jury and challenged the limits of her own acting. This bold and topical work has gone through a lot of ups and downs from planning to completion. "Anti-Christian" was originally planned to start filming in 2005, but when executive producer Peter Jensen inadvertently revealed the ending of the film's planning, Lars von Trier was furious and decided to delay shooting and rewrite the script. . In 2007, the director announced that he was suffering from depression, and he wondered if "Anti-Christian" could become his next work. He was so bad that he couldn't even meet the actors who auditioned, so he had to let them go home. The film's budget was $11 million, of which the Danish Film Institute contributed $1.5 million. There are only two actors from start to finish in the film, and they don't have names, instead "he" and "she". The actor Willem Dafoe has cooperated with the director in "Variations of Destiny" in 2005, which has been well received. Later, when he called Trier to ask what movie he was making recently, Trier decided to cast Willem Dafoe in his new film. Although Trier's wife was skeptical that it would be appropriate to cast a star like Dafoe in such an extreme character, the script went to Dafoe unscathed. He said of his character: "I think the power behind the dark side and the silence is even more powerful for an actor. That's something we never discuss, so when you have a chance to use that in a dramatic The way it shows, yeah, it really appeals to me." As for the actress' initial pick, Eva Green, she liked the role very much, but her agent didn't want her in it. In this way, nearly two months were wasted. Finally, Charlotte came along, and she was desperate for the role. She succeeded. During filming, in order to get the actors into shape, the director showed them Tarkovsky's The Mirror, Trier's own work "The Idiot" to Dafoe alone, and "Midnight's Gatekeeper" to Charlotte. ". During filming, Trier did not recover, and he kept apologizing to the actors for his poor state. After the filming was completed, the premiere was at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. Although the audience's mood was very complicated, they unanimously affirmed Charlotte's outstanding performance.
