Chaos reigns


Apparently, a fox speaks this line in Lars Von Trier's movie "Antichrist". The image above the line is based upon the computer generated grid used for animation of the fox's face. By the way, I haven't seen the movie yet.

Der Rattengott


Inspired by the great ex-Yugoslavian horror movie "The Rat Savior" directed by Krsto Papić.
"Izbavitelj" is the original Serbo-Croat title. "Der Rattengott" is the German version of the title. (The Rat God).

"Ich Bin Werwolf" Katharina Hartmann

A line form Lars Von Trier's 1991 movie, Europa (Zentropa).
Katharina Hartmann (a character played by Barbara Sukowa) admits at on point to Leopold Kessler (Jean-Marc Barr): "Ich bin Werwolf" (I am werewolf). Werewolves were Nazi partisans who tried to obstruct the American invasion of Germany immediately after the II WW.
It is a very slippery and tricky question of patriotism. Katharina was not a Nazi, she just wanted to defy her father.
I find this movie extremely interesting in terms of one country's meddling with the affairs of another. (Can we really understand what are the real troubles of other people?)
On the intimate scale (a clueless and pragmatic American guy falls in love with a bitter and proud German girl) I used another dialogue from this movie in a graphic work Zentropa Balkan.

Buysexual

I remember the phrase being used by Eric Idle in "Splitting Heirs" (I think) describing his sexual preference. "I'm buysexual. I need to buy sex".
A sort of pharmaceutical look with a $ sign instead of the usual ®.

James Mason (as god)

I'm a huge fan of Eddie Izzard.
He often impersonates James Mason, particularly in the role of god.
