Antichrist review by BL
Definately a woman to avoid!

I really liked this. The sadness at and the guilt the death of their son generates leads the parents to seek solace at their cabin the in the woods. However the wife (Charlote Gainsbourg) is effcetively mentally deranged and her obsession with sex and violence emanating from it tips her over the edge. Nature itself acts as judge and jury and you just know there is no escape. Really quite erotic and spooky.

Antichrist review by Jawbreaker
Graphic Manic Depression
(1) of (4) members found this review helpful.
Anti Christ is a savage and unforgiving drama from Lars Von Trier but we would expect nothing less given his track record. Already infamous due to that scene which has upset so many, Anti Christ proves to be far more than just graphic self-mutilation. Instead we follow a couple as they descend into the depths of depression and despair following the loss of their child. This is not a pleasant experience, nor should it be given its subject matter. The film is beautifully shot and is extremely dark. Like Martyrs the violence is graphic yet the production standards are high end European. In reality the film only has a cast of two; both perform exceptionally well given the exposure and rigours they must endure. And when that scene arrives I really questioned what the fuss was about in an age where we have to endure Saw and its competitors. Anti Christ is a difficult experience but one worth enduring although it is far from the great film that many have suggested.
