Antichrist (2009)
LARS VON TRIER
Plot
Let's be honest, you either love or hate cinema's infamous enfant terrible, Lars von Trier. Those of you who love him you will find Antichrist' his most entertaining and beautifully orchestrated work to date. Layered, witty and wryly tongue-in-cheek at every turn, Antichrist' is brutal, honest and intelligent in both its observation of human emotion and in its exploration of a life riddled with love, loss and psychosis. Those of you who hate him however (and for newcomers who aren't familiar with his oeuvre); you will no doubt find Antichrist' to be unnecessarily gratuitous, cruel and void of a "good story". Work out where you stand on the von Trier barometer and take it from there.
