this movie really isnt for people under 18!!! please beware when watching this on your pc at home.

there is masturbation full frontal. sex with hitting, mutilation of sex organs which also is full frontal.


the only positive thing about this movie is the fact that you want to see what sick and twisted things will happen next but besides that its really nothing special and a pretty bad movie. missery did the "dont leave me" part a lot better without the disturbing stuff in it.

a boring but sick and disturbing movie

Thank you for this movie! I stumbled upon it here (never heard of it)and after watching, (well, had to look away several times) I am still thinking about it 5 hours later. It is 'intelligent' and the psychological horror is as disturbing as the physical but even though there is purpose in the gore/sex BE WARNED! It appears as real as the actual sex scenes.

Absolutely loved this (if that's the right word)

The various quotes on the poster do it a disservice, it makes it sound like Saw or something, but it's actually a really well thought out film. I dont want to say too much for fear of spoiling it, but the way it plays with film making conventions is really clever, and it handles mental illness well for the most part. The only thing I'd complain about is that there's a couple of things it doesn't fully resolve, it explains them but doesn't really drive it home

And yeah there were a couple of scenes that's stay with me

couldnt get through first 1/2 hour.

Defoe has always enjoyed playing edgy or even beyond the edge flics.. which is why I love the artist Defoe. This is a strange strange flic that revels in it's strangness and unless that is a fare one has becomed accustomed to.. might not be best for a "first bite".. those with a more mature, perceptive and broader appetite will relish. Great photography.. and as been mentioned.. compelling in its story.
As for the sex scenes.. this is kinda strange keepin with the theme... years ago.. Defoe remarked in an interview that one day we'd see in a mainstream general release film actual sex on screen and not simulated as is the current norm.. and the hold up was not to do with directors, producers, etc or even the audience acceptabilty.. but with getting a "name" actor to step up.... As much as I'm a fan of Defoe's and have seen him nude in numerous flics.. I'd recognize that skinny wrinkly ass anywhere and I think we've just seen the first "name" actor to "step up" and perform actual sex on screen... regardless of what they told IMDB.
Like the song says.. I could be wrong... but I could be right.

I don't think many people would quite understand this movie...it's pretty deep and I think the last quarter of the movie proved pretty disturbing as well. A Good movie!

thank you so much!

This film is such utter trash. The director is such an utter moron.

This one of does films that you have to digest slowly. The shock value was hi on the agenda, but i enjoy the film any ways. it will be interesting to hear the take from the feminist side. Is nature evil? i all ways had a unsafe feeling in the woods. but i get off on it, it gives me a feeling of the space inside mimicking the space out side and this have to be define by the treeline or mountains...i got to stop smoking so early in the morning. ps i don't think Tarkovsky will had being happy with this film sex fixation.

it smooch a lot form the Tarkovsky films in terms of photography, slow motion, sound, humans at the edge of in between worlds.

nice usage of the word "utter"

makes you sound very smarty pantssszz

im about to watch this now and i havent even started it and im starting to feel like this may be a mistake apparently its one of the most full of and fucked up movies about?


oh seems like all the links on the net are out of sync atm oh well

[font="Arial Black"][/font]Great movie and I thank the loader. The sound is a bit chronic and I look forward to a cleaner rip with elevated levels.

The divxCloud links are in sync.

It's a beautifully shot pile of shite,painfull to watch but not for the reasons Lars would've wanted.

i thought the film was kinda confusing and all the talk about actual sex scenes....well it was too dark to really see any penetration so I couldn't tell whether the sex part was real or make believe except for the masturbation part.

Finally got a chance to finish the movie. One of the coolest witch movies i ve ever seen.

If you liked this film you may be a communist.

1)
first five minutes reminded of those shitty black and white commercials
that scene dragged out for far too long (5 minutes).
What was the point of adding the penetration ... dont add anything except maybe some shock value.

I hated the first scene which ruined the rest of the movie because I simply didnt care about the "event"

Well i was looking for a shock and instead it made me sleepy and I went to bed early...lol BORING!! I didn't get anything "deep" from it, and it wasn't good enough for me to spend any effort trying to figure it out.
Thanx for the links though!

Well, the movie was certainly interesting, and I actually kind of had to look away when she starts bashing willem dafoe's penis in with a giant log. ouch.

didnt make it a half hour! Different strokes for different folks Im not a prude by any means, it was just boring to me

hmm blow out of proportion not that bad to watch very boring and slow tho i think the film was made as a quick means for money shouw real sex people wanna see it its shocking and new but still boring

I like Willam Defoe even though some of his movies are weird. From what I am reading here it looks like another weird movie LOL. So I guess it might not be something I want to watch even though when I saw the trailer a few months ago thought it might be a good horror movie to watch. Guess Not!! Looks like this movie might end up on DVD instead of theater???

Guys thanks anyway for DVD copy.

Ok I usually like to watch a movie and come to my own conclusions even though I read the opinions of others... I am speechless with this movie, it was the most disturbing, stupid thing I have ever seen. I lost an hour and a half of my life to this outragious wannabe witch movie, and I thought The Blair Witch sucked <~~~ this was so bad I had to watch a comedy afterward just to fix the mental block I had after viewing this. Trust me you dont want to see this piece of sh$#, I mean unless you want to be bored out of your mind and lost as hell....no plot...no character....no explination for any of it..... oh and the so said real sex scenes unless you like looking at boney like gross boney girls then just go find something else. I dont know how the hell this made it to the internet , let alone pass the director ( oh he wrote the stupid thing!) I have no more to say! MWAH to all!!

Well i just watched this film and i am not really sure how i feel about. There is a lot to process here. Watch: Antichrist

Same here a lot to process...I think I'll wait for a DVDRip and then I'll watch it again, although I almost never made it to the end, I found the middle dragged a bit.
Now onto some questions. WTF?
Just kidding, although I must admit watching this movie and not focusing 100% is not a good idea.
So was she a witch? Did she somehow convert during the writing of her thesis?
Also, it was my understanding that at first she was frightened of nature, then once she embraced it she became in tune with it(bird calling to her when He was hiding)...so what happened when He (Willlem) was on the floor, and the bird called out...was the bird helping him as to where the wrench was hidden? See I didn't get that...

It's a very interesting film. Obviously there are a lot of different views and/or questions regarding the entire theme of the movie, but this is what I gathered about it!

They're not a simple couple who is devastated by the death of their child.

The child himself is Lucifer, who fell from the sky provoking pain, sorrow and desperation. Obviously this explains why the "Three Beggars" were an essential part of the film.

Sex will only be pain and punishment while Eden becomes the place of the ancient fears where the "tremendum and fascinans" mystery of nature will be revealed. The battle between man and woman becomes the war of sense and instinct.

Von Trier's original intention, it's said, was to reveal at the end that the world was created by Satan, not God: That evil, not goodness, reigns ascendant. His finished film reflects the same idea, but not as explicitly. The title "Antichrist" is the key. This is a mirror world. It is a sin to lose knowledge rather than to eat of its fruit and gain it. She and He are behaving with such cruelty toward each other not as actual people, but as creatures inhabiting a moral mirror world. As much as they might comfort and love each other in our world after losing a child, so to the same degree in the mirror world they inflame each other's pain and act out hatred. This would be the world created by Satan.

If you listen to Dafoe's voice in various parts of the film, it could strongly be used for Satan's temptation of Christ in the desert.

If I am right, then von Trier has proceeded with perfect logic. Just as a good world could not contain too much beauty and charity, an evil world could not have too much cruelty and hatred. He is making a moral statement. I'm not sure if he's telling us how things are, or warning us of what could come, but I am sure he has not compromised his vision.

At the end He stands atop a hill while a legion of unnatural humans ascends toward him, evoking "Night of the Living Dead." The suggestion is Biblical, but not from the Bible we know. The human figures are not naked, climbing toward birth, but clothed, climbing toward death. After their fall in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve learned shame, and covered their nakedness. In this evil world, they are created covered, and by their sins are cast out into nakedness.

If you have to ask what a film symbolizes, it doesn't. With this one, you don't have to ask. It tells you. I believe "Antichrist" may be an exercise in alternative theology: Von Trier's version of those passages in Genesis where Man is cast from Eden and Satan assumes a role in the world.

Von Trier is being true to himself with this film and that's what made it solid. It was a very beautiful and artistic film, but deep and disturbing as well.

I'll just repeat myself,it was a beautifully shot pile of shite which whilst being shocking wasn't shocking in the way Lars wanted it to be.

9/10 for art
2/10 for actual substance (1 for each of the actors who both did a quality job considering what that mad man asked of them)

It is a cut above most of what is out there, but, the descriptor, torture porn, is probably, most apt.

sekzee , i bet you're a laugh a fuckin minute to go and watch a film with.
"torture porn" what the fuck?
i think the way it was unravelled was very carefully done - nothing was out of place until the ending when it kind of got lost - its not really a climactic film its in the dread and tension.
i didn't like Charlotte gainsbourg...i think she's too precious to pull the part off...it left willem dafoe looking too obsequious too.
i reckon its like a lot of his film swhere he can't decide if the woman is a whore or an aspect of mother nature.

Lars von Trier's:

Antichrist (2009)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0870984/

A couple lose their young son when he falls out the window while they have sex in the other room. The mother's grief consigns her to hospital, but her therapist husband brings her home intent on treating her depression himself. To confront her fears they go to stay at their remote cabin in the woods, "Eden", where something untold happened the previous summer. Told in four chapters with a prologue and epilogue, the film details acts of lustful cruelty as the man and woman unfold the darker side of nature outside and within.

When I heard about this film during this years Canne's Fest. I couldn't find any other of Lars von Triers films online, so I really didn't expect to see this one pop up online, but i'm pleasently surprised.

Thanks.
