LanguageEnglish

Whilst a couple are having passionate, slow-motion sex in the shower, their unsupervised young son falls out of the window and dies. In a remote forest cabin, the two try to come to terms with their grief … ANTICHRIST is a film of extremes: formally hyper-artificial, brutal in content, and overloaded with symbolism. Here, grief becomes a landscape, loss the driving force behind violence: » Nature is Satan’s church’. Created during a depressive phase of its director, Opus 11 caused a scandal at its premiere – and continues to provoke controversial reactions to this day. Daniel Kehlmann: “Perhaps no film has ever made one feel the presence of evil so intensely as a metaphysically destructive force. One could expect nothing less from Lars von Trier.”
