educallejero So. Having said that.I admit the movie is great at making you feel bad, deppressed (and oppressed) with imagery and visuals, incredible acting from both leads, and graphic and painful scenes.So that's great and the "five" for the movie.But what Im not so sure is: What's the point of all this?The themes (self hatred, deppression, guilt) are all there, but I feel they lose coherence. Its like it touches so many dark human emotions that it ends in kind of a contradiction.SPOILERS..............................................................I felt that a good theme of the movie was how men deal with painful emotions by just abusing women and taking advantage in the more emotional female to let them charge with all the guilt in a given situation of shared guilt (like in this case)... Like a message of how men just reppress those emotions and results in anger against women, explaining misogyny (or whatever)... But if that's a dumb reading of the movie, its just doesn't hold up anyway..

MJB784 I didn't get what was so scary about it. Towards the end it worked best because it was more mysterious and creepy, but it dragged at times and just kept going in circles. It's just about this woman who goes from nightmarish visions to wanting rough sex with her doctor who fathered their deceased baby. It had some cool filmmaking.

Asif Khan (asifahsankhan) Still... it is one of my favourite Lars Von Trier film, ever.Von Trier (director) 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 and Cannes best actress winner Charlotte Gainsbourg—retreat to their 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.The bodies are decomposing into the ground beneath them, perhaps signifying the hordes of people who had also succumbed to the evil depicted in the film.As many unrated art-house horror movies go, this one is no exception. Most scenes in the movie are plagued with images that will stay with you for a pretty long time.

chrishankinson This is one heck of a disturbing movie, brilliantly acted by William Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsborough, superb camera work, Directed by Lars Von Trier. Explicit violence and sex scenes, superb script and story line that keeps you guessing until the very end.WARNING: Not for the faint hearted or prudish
