Wil' Buckaroo Dafoe rocks the house. I've seen all of his work, and this is his best by far. Stay cool buddy!
Great guests today. Looking forward to the next movie from Mr. Dafoe!
I love Lars von Trier. His films are brave and challenging. So what if he's tough on his actors? So was Hitchcock--he make Kim Novak cry but VERTIGO is my favorite movie of all time.
Willem Dafoe rocks. Looking forward to seeing ANTICHRIST....
I htink better than cranky man is humorless man. (re von Trier)
I think Lars von Triers is basically a cranky man, full of hate.
I have seen (and loved) many Foreman plays since "Paint" a loooong time ago & I'm going to see "Idiot Savant" tonight - didn't know who was in it and now am very interested to see Mr. Dafoe in this piece....was under the impression that Foreman was taking a break from stage pieces to make film and not to expect another play so soon. Dare a fan of surrealism say 'gooy goody'.....?
