“she” is grieving over the loss of their son Nick who fell out of a window while the couple were making love. So I suppose names weren’t necessary in this case. Yes, you say …you’ve got to to the extremes but what is the film about? To bring it onto perspective, the credits list the 2 main actors as “he” and “she”. Anyone remember “Misery”? Well how about knocking your lover unconscious breaking” his balls with a blunt object, castrating him and then drilling a hole in his leg to place a weight thru it? How’s that for impact? To cut right to the chase on this one we get a few shots of Dafoes ball sack, some pretty believable masturbations scenes, a closeup of Dafore getting his d*ck jerked while blood spits out and a nice scene where actress Charlotte Gainsbourg cuts off her clit as an act of defiance. I just don’t get it! Is the influence of European tonality too far gone for Us audiences? Is there a revelation that needs to be explored in internet forums and deep seated discussions at film philosophy class? Or is it easier to just wipe this one off as wasted time watching someone elses indulgence that doesn’t deliver a greet story? I truly believe in a filmmaker who uses cinema to translate a deeper meaning into thoughtful reasoning, though I think in this case I’m more at home with saying “Lars. Sure we have Willen Dafoe on our side but on more profound levels, the film is a showcase for some very adult filmed segments, some brutal scenes of violence and at many times scenes that just don’t make sense. Though on the other we have a film that doesn’t connect too well with audiences. On one hand we have a beautifulyl filmed piece that takes advantage of full wide screen composition often having subjects at both ends of the screen conversing and provides some great subtle toned scenery that may have a few cinematographers drooling over (or at least appreciating) The name implies….well I’m not so sure now to be honest. Constantine-hunting beast film then look again. Now for those who are expecting some sort of Omen meets Exorcist, devil unleashed.
Told in four chapters with a prologue and epilogue, the film details acts of lustful cruelty as the man and woman unfold the darker side of nature outside and within.Īs fast as you can summon the words “art film” then take a gander at the new release from Lars Von Trier titled “Antichrist”. To confront her fears they go to stay at their remote cabin in the woods, “Eden”, where something untold happened the previous summer. The mother’s grief consigns her to hospital, but her therapist husband brings her home intent on treating her depression himself. Though its intent still eludes me, Antichrist is also one of the most captivating and visually engaging movies of the year.A couple lose their young son when he falls out the window while they have sex in the other room. In Lars von Trier's most mainstream movie to date - which still isn't very mainstream at all - Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg star in what is easily the most twisted movie of 2009, Antichrist. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.
A grieving couple (two-time Oscar®-Nominee Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg) retreat to 'Eden,' their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. One of most celebrated filmmakers of our time, Lars Von Trier is back with the beautiful, terrifying, and altogether engrossing "Antichrist." The talk of 2009 Cannes Film Festival, where star Charlotte Gainsbourg took home the award for Best Actress, the full, unedited version of this eagerly awaited film promises to captivate audiences this fall.
