How does he intend to do that? Well, he’s developed yet another interesting idea for his latest film, The Boss of it All, to include what he’s calling “Lookeys.” Trier describes it as a mind game with the movie as the board on which it’s played. A Lookey is a “visual disturbance” that is out of context within the film, and it’s up to the audience to find them.
The first Danish cinemagoer to spot all the Lookeys in Boss will get a prize of $5,630 (odd number) and the chance to be an extra in Anti-Christ. Not too bad for what is essentially asking his audience to just pay a bit more attention to the film they’re watching, though who knows just how subtle the Lookeys really are, especially when Von Trier is calling it a “mind game.”
Stick around for more on Anti-Christ as we gather it!
