This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

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..

Visually it impresses, it is made so that it does not leave you indifferent, or you love or hate it. The film shows us a chaotic, irrational and especially painful state of depression, the pain of a marriage that loses its child. The loss causes in the mother a perpetual state of remorse, this takes her aside with her husband, who is also her therapist, in a cabin in the forest where her instinct blooms (indirect cause of the initial tragedy) and self-flagellation because he can not control his instincts.
This leads to the birth of the fear of the human being by its own nature. It is punished for being human, for being a woman.

8 -This movie was a blast for me, both bone-chilling and stomach-turning, but at the same time profoundly rich in meaning. Aside from prologue and epilogue, so "delicately" filmed and edited, the main dish is often too brutal, both visually and conceptually, delivering a truly unforgettable experience. Both an omage to horror movies and a beast of its own, Antichrist will sure leave you shocked.

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.
