Story
The story of 'Antichrist' begins with a prologue showing a couple having sex while their young son accidentally falls out of an open window and dies. The wife, grief-stricken, is later hospitalized for depression but her therapist husband brings her home intending to treat her himself. In an attempt to confront her fears, they retreat to their remote cabin 'Eden' in the woods where something untold happened the previous summer. Throughout their stay, acts of cruelty unfold as they explore the darker side of nature both outside and within themselves. The film is divided into four chapters with a prologue and epilogue.
Summary
'Antichrist', directed by Lars von Trier in 2009, is a psychological thriller that explores themes of grief, guilt, and the darker aspects of human nature. The story revolves around a couple trying to cope with the loss of their child, leading them to confront their own fears and desires while staying at their isolated cabin in the woods. Despite the limited plot details provided by sources like TMDB (which merely states that 'things go from bad to worse'), OMDB offers more context about the film's structure and themes, such as its division into chapters and the exploration of nature's cruelty. The movie is noted for its controversial content involving masochism, self-mutilation, and torture, and has been described as pretentious by some. However, it's also praised for its psychological depth and symbolism.
