And while one can’t begin to dissect the film’s attitude towards women – long a subject of contention for the accused sadist director – “Antichrist” probably won’t do much to change the mind of those who question his sympathies towards the opposite sex. There’s an instance of body mutilation that will turn off the most tolerant viewer (and surely, the most open-minded distributor). The laughter heard during the film’s most disturbing final act is probably more a result of its efficacy than its excessiveness, though I can’t be sure. While there’s no doubt that the place he goes is off a precipitous edge, one can’t deny the film’s continuing primal power. And yet, nothing is so predictable here Von Trier exorcises his deepest, darkest perversities to go in some entirely new directions. But one realizes it’s only a matter of time before “chaos reigns” – to quote a particularly memorable moment from the film – and the arrogant husband gets his comeuppance. Whether that’s nature – as in leaves and little critters – or human nature, we have to wait to see. The couple then goes to their house in the woods to confront the wife’s irrational fears of “nature,” which are somehow tied to her son’s death. In “Antichrist,” the theme is also present, as Dafoe tries to cure his wife’s pathological mourning through reasoned exercises and talking cures. The sexual act, shown in fully explicit detail and yet highly surreal, sets the stage for the extreme anxiety attached to sexuality, which reaches its full-blown apex at the film’s gory climax.ĭafoe’s psychiatrist husband plays the kind of rational man that frequents Von Trier’s work – the detective in “The Element of Crime,” the doctor in the film within “Epidemic,” Tom Edison in “Dogville” – all characters whose belief in logic and humanity are proven horribly, ironically, self-destructive. The film opens-in a highly stylized black and white sheen-with the unnamed parents (Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe) fucking in slow-motion all over their house, in the shower, against the washing machine. But in Von Trier’s version, the child’s bearing witness coincides with him jumping out the window to his death. 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, Antichrist follows a grieving couple (two-time Oscar®-Nominee Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg) who retreat to ’Eden’, their isolated.
