The Lars Von Trier's movies

Is a extremelly difficult question, choose the most important movie in my life. I love the cinema, in differents styles, from dramatic's movie to the terror films. I follow to many directors and actors, because of that I have watched films of all history. But today, I going to talk about one of the most controversial and strange directors, is the danish Lars Von Trier, one of my favourite film makers in all times. To talk about the Lars Von Trier's movies I choose three amazing films, in three diferent moments of him work: Medea, Dogville and Antichrist.



"Medea" is a film of 1988, and is the adaptation of the play of Euripides (dramatist of the old grece). Tell the history of Medea, daughter of the king of Colquida, she is a powerfull witch that fell in love of Jason, commander of the Argonautas. After steal the "vellocino" of gold, escape to Corintis, where Medea has two childrens with Jason. After this, he flirts to daughter of the king of Corintios (Glauce), married with she and leave Medea. But she decides to take revenge of Jason. I saw "Medea" in my home, a friend give me the movie. Is a film very experimental, the character of Medea is play for Kirsten Olesen, an amazing danish's actress, and the set is a cold and hard steppe of the north of Europe.
Other film is "Dogville" of 2003, and is with one of my favourite actress in the U.S's cinema, Nicole Kidman. She is in the movie Grace, a women that is escape to a gangster, and arrive to a small town in the state of Colorado. In Dogville (name of the town), Grace must learn the personality of the members of the community, and she find that isn't so kind like she think. "Dogville" is the first movie of Lars Von Trier that I see, and I love it. I watched in the cinema, and surprise me so much the set, that is like a teather's set (the wall never exist, materially talking). The performance of Kidman is wonderfull, is the same year that she recived the Academy Award for "The Hours", him best year definitely.
The last movie I going to talk is "Antichrist" of 2009. A dark and controversial movie about a couple that they go to a forrest and freky things start to happen, after the dead of their baby in a tragical situation. Von Trier with "Antichrist" reform all terror's movies, he show us a gradual madness of the women, and the forrest like the representation of evil. The final scene are very hard, and very people hate the movie because of that. Independelly I love this film, have a direction of art very incredible, and the performance of Charlotte Gainsbourg and William Defoe is perfect. 

Only I want you to watch Lars Von Trier's films, it's a experience.
