## Description

Lars von Trier (Europa, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark) shook up the film world when he premiered Antichrist at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. In this graphic psychodrama, a grief-stricken man and woman—a searing Willem Dafoe (Platoon, The Last Temptation of Christ) and Cannes best actress Charlotte Gainsbourg (Jane Eyre, 21 Grams)—retreat to a cabin deep in the woods after the accidental death of their infant son, only to find terror and violence at the hands of nature and, ultimately, each other. But this most confrontational work yet from one of contemporary cinema’s most controversial artists is no mere provocation. It is a visually sublime, emotionally ravaging journey to the darkest corners of the possessed human mind; a disturbing battle of the sexes that pits rational psychology against age-old superstition; and a profoundly effective horror film.

Review: Yes and No - This is the most difficult opinion I have ever given, for while I give this film a 5-out-of-5 as a work of art, I believe that 97 out of 100 filmgoers will be strongly offended by some of the explicit images that are included in the visual narrative. Therefore I could recommend this film only to those 3 out of 100 who would agree with me that these images exist in the film not for their shock value but because they are necessary for an understanding of what these characters encounter under the influence of the dark side of Nature. Unless the viewer is compelled to watch, he or she cannot understand the pain (or the madness). Other than that, there is an extraordinary similarity here (in visuals other than the shocking ones alluded to above) in the director's observations of nature and those of Sartre in his fiction, a theme clearly enunciated in one of von Trier's other films "Melancholia". Whether or not the filmmaker is an "existentialist" or, from a different perspective, a Gnostic, it seems clear in "Antichrist" and "Melancholia" that von Trier is coming to the same conclusions about the Human Condition as the adherents of those philosophies. And for those of us who have come to those same conclusions, whether existentialist, Gnostic or otherwise, it is somehow comforting to know that we are not alone. On a less weighty note, it has to be said that Charlotte Gainsbourg has an extraordinary amount of courage
Review: Very Horrific Depressing Movie - Know what you are getting into before watching this film. It's dark, satanic, gory and depressing. I love it! Wish it was in 4K!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lars Von Trier's shocking magnum opus
*by I***D on July 21, 2025*

A wild, disturbing, psychological film which shows the ugly sides of grief and remorse. No slip cover, but comes in a nice Criterion case, along with a booklet. Arrived with nothing broken nor any chips.
