Dir. Lars von Trier | Denmark, France, Sweden & Italy | 2009 | 104 min.
with Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg

Antichrist was the talk of 2009 Cannes Film Festival, where star Charlotte Gainsbourg took home the award for Best Actress. A grieving couple retreat to ’Eden’, their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse.

"A powerfully made film. The performances by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg are heroic and fearless. Von Trier's visual command is striking. And if you can think beyond what he shows to what he implies, its depths are frightening. IT IS A REAL FILM. Von Trier has reached me and shaken me." - Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

“Antichrist is a gorgeous, mesmerizing construction, and almost every one of its frames shimmers with demented, imaginary life...It offers more proof, if we need any, that von Trier is one of the most accomplished cinema artists of our time." - SALON
