I've seen some of Lars von Trier's films and based on those and what I've heard, I really won't be watching Antichrist

What's the deal? Is he good? Bad? Can someone pitch MR LVT in 10 words?

his films are generally without any form of compassion and tend to end badly in a depressing "I could have done without that" kind of way.
Dancer in the Dark (the one with Bjork playing a blind woman who is sentenced to death) is a relatively cheery musical one if you want to dip your toes in at the sunny end.

When I realised it was all shot in a black room with set markings I thought "oh no." But I really warmed to it. Not enough to value his auteuristry though.
