ANTICHRIST is quite a disturbing stroll through the imagination, inquietudes and artistic perspective of Lars, who made this movie to help himslef out of a depresion and help the rest of us to get into one.
The film displays a beautifull and extremely provocative array of images that leaves none indiferent to their explicit and implicit messages.
Its journy into the human mind, with all its horrors and allucinations, give us no time for popcorn digestion.
The scene where Nature and Critical Reason interview each other brings up some interesting perspectives about the capacity of humans to imgine the unimaginable.
In reality, the idea that lies behind it, is the possibility of humans to achieve or make real everything that our minds can conceive.
The consequences of trying to control the forces of nature (are they women?) are pesimistic.
Lars and women...His views on the "fair" sex are always controvesial.
Do women bodies belong to us or to nature? Are we in charge of them or do they control us?
Sex (women's one, of course) is depicted as the responsible evil that masters and condemns our will to its own caprices that respond to obscure desires.
In an orgy of violence born out from bad conscience and hidden fears (is Freud really dead or that was just an ironic comment by Her?) the two chracters, whilst trying to find the light, find their way towards the most complete of the darkness and destruction.
Trying to destroy the nightmare, the nightmare destroys them.
Come on....Watch this movie, because ... I have to do it again before keep on going.
