Profile of Antichrist

The mood of Antichrist is disturbing, sexual, and bleak. The plot centers around isolation, imprisonment or confinement, and psychological motives. It is a horror movie. In approach, Antichrist is serious. It takes place, at least partly, in a haunted house and in the woods. It happens in contemporary times. Visually, Antichrist involves digital video effects. The movie is known for being a Cannes festival winner and controversial. Note that it includes strong sexual content, strong violent content, and nudity.

Summary of Antichrist

Only two actors, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Defoe, inhabit the space of this supernatural thriller directed by Lars Von Trier. The stars play a couple who attempt to grieve for their dead child by living in seclusion in the middle of a forest. But their story does not end there: in the forest, they encounter pure evil in Satan. With Von Trier at the helm, Antichrist promises to be a challenging, intelligent film that doesn’t adhere to the conventions of cinema or religion.

Boring yawn fest.
This remains the only film I have ever walked out of at the cinema. Simply put, this film is increadibly boring. Artistically beautiful but thematically empty, its graphic sex scenes and gore seem to be there for shock value alone, though I even...
Likely to see
Not for me
