ANTICHRIST (18) 11.30pm

(Denmark/Germany/France/Sweden/Italy/Poland 2009) dir. Lars Von Trier 105m. Digital.
Willem Dafoe, Charlotte Gainsbourg.

An early opportunity to see the most talked about movie at Cannes 2009, where audience opinion was divided but love it or hate it, one thing is certain: indifference is not an option for the latest masterwork from the ever unpredictable and intriguingly bizarre world of Lars von Trier. Grieving from the death of their child, a young couple retreat to their country cabin nestled deep in the woods to confront fears and sorrows head-on, no matter how painful. But nature only creates a catastrophic evil that ends in brutal horror. Charlotte Gainsbourg took the best actress prize at Cannes, but this is absolutely von Trier's show. Teeming with ideas, moments both scary and shocking and featuring a satanically prophetic talking fox this is Cinema at the outer limits.
