![]() ![]() This film has not, it should be said, garnered particularly favourable reviews either, though for entirely opposite reasons many felt Fireflies lacked the boldness required to distinguish it from any common-or-garden family drama. This must be a particularly strange week for Dafoe, because while the furore rages over Antichrist, he will simultaneously be seen in another movie, Fireflies in the Garden, in which he stars alongside Julia Roberts and Ryan Reynolds in a tale that spans 20 years, takes in father-son relationships, untimely death and the poetry of Robert Frost. If nothing else, Cannes certainly gave the actor his exchange of ideas. "There's no way Antichrist isn't a major career embarassment for co-stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, and a possible career stopper for Von Trier," wrote one particularly shocked American reviewer. "This was great." Unfortunately the critics did not concur, and the film has been greeted largely by revulsion and confusion. "This was very full-on," says Dafoe of the filming process.
