“Ticket Stubs” Review: ‘Antichrist’ - Lars Von Trier’s controversial award winner

Posted by Austin Lugar on Friday, November 06, 2009

“Ticket Stubs” review of ‘Antichrist‘ by Austin Lugar
for MovieSet.com

In all regards, you should not watch ‘Antichrist‘. My position as a reviewer is to guide you into seeing or not seeing a film by providing my own opinions. Throughout this review, I shall remark a lot of the achievements of this film, but I warn you this is not a recommendation.

So why shouldn’t you see a film that I will label as technically good? When you look as Lars Von Trier’s canon, there are a variety of films designed to make you feel uneasy. His greatest films in my mind (Dogville, Dancer in the Dark, Breaking the Waves) are films that I have no interest in experiencing for a second time. Von Trier has the uncanny ability to delve in to the dark parts of the human psyche and create remarkable works of art from it. With those films, the audience also takes part in his characters’ downward spirals but it is appreciated because these characters are worth caring about and he is a very competent director. Now with Antichrist, he may have crossed the line into pure misery.
