Actually. I think ANTICHRIST was one of Triers worse movies. I don't really see them as art movies either, rather than meaningful movies. I just said that you can probably handle Dogvilles visual style better if you are used with all kinds of unusual looking art flicks. But I wouldn't call this art film. Noe and Trier make films for the sake of films, not for the sake of art which in my mind means publicity and nothing more. Art has become meaningless. Antichrist could be viewed as some artsy film though, but not much as a full mind blowing movie.
I don't know about Trier, he seems to be very serious with his movie making. But Noe actually is a bit of art guy. I have some of his shorter reality flicks done with his former art group, one involving a gun, a ski mask and rubber doll in particular. Interesting, how Noe is always on such perverse sexual themes. Have you seen "Carne"? There is something really odd about this movie, which makes it fantastic!
