A bad time for a trip to the woods

Antichrist (2009)

Written and directed by Lars von Trier this film stars Willem Dafe and Charlottte Gainsbourg. Following the accidental death of their child a husband who works as a therapist tries to help his wife over come her grief.

This film is beyond dark and contains images that are pretty much impossible to watch. That being said this is a really interesting exploration of grief and it is full of symbolic depth. There are some beautifully shot sequences that contrast with the grim stuff leaving an usual horror film that will stay with you.


5/5
