.... until Lars Von Trier's Antichrist rapes my eyeballs. Can't wait! I love a good eyeball-rapin'. Til then there's a nice chat with the film's lead-actor Willem Dafoe with Roger Ebert over at Ebert's site, and this exchange pleased me since I adore the film and performance of which they speak:Ebert: I have a film festival that honors overlooked films that deserve more attention. I've long felt Shadow Of The Vampire falls in that category. Agree?
Dafoe: Shadow Of The Vampire was important to me because I had found a character that somehow really presented me with a mask that I my imagination responded to -- so I felt very free in performing that character. I have a hard time judging the film because I had too much fun playing that role.
.
And it wasn't until Ebert listed them off that I realized what a career Dafoe has had so far - look at this list of directors:
"Paul Schrader, Werner Herzog, Abel Ferrara, Theodoros Angelopoulos, Oliver Stone, Spike Lee, Martin Scorsese, Sam Raimi, Wes Anderson."
Good grief! That's a group.

And I don't even see David Lynch in that group of directors.
