A solid cast, a controversial filmmaker, and an onslaught of comments about "the most disturbing film ever made" resulted in Antichrist being a must see for me because I like unsettling films. I was interested in seeing Antichrist right from the start. Interested yet? Between that and the aforementioned genital mutilation, I can't see how anyone would not put Antichrist at top of their Netflix cue. There's also graphic sex, graphic violence, and graphically violent sex. You don't, after all, earn the honor of being "The Great Genital Mutilation Film of '09" and not get talked about.įor those unfamiliar with Antichrist, the film stars my long time girl crush Charlotte Gainsbourg and the always unnerving Willem Dafoe as a married couple who, after the death of their son, retreat to their cabin in the woods to face their demons. despite being the talk of many film festivals the world over. Building a significant amount of word of mouth buzz before its release for the graphic and disturbing nature of the movie, Antrichrist never received a proper release in the U.S. By those standards, Lars Von Trier's Antichrist is a superb movie. I feel l ike the mark of an excellent film is needing to pee halfway through the movie and being too intrigued to leave your seat.
