Antichrist [Blu-ray]

Product Information

Six months after millions of people disappeared in the Rapture, the world is just beginning to recover. Post-production and color timing were done using Assimilate's SCRATCH and Nucoda's Film Master systems. The supplemental features on the disc include an audio commentary with professor Murray Smith from University of Kent in the United Kingdom and director Lars von Trier; interviews with various cast and crew members; making of fetaturette; footage from the film's premiere at the Cannes Film Festival; theatrical trailers and more.

Vineyard Churches UK and Ireland is a Charitable Company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales under Company No. The disc then concludes with three theatrical trailers, two looking to be the Danish ones, and the third being the IFC trailer. Commentary - an audio commentary with Professor Murray Smith from University of Kent in the United Kingdom, and directors Lars von Trier. And despite it being rather good, in the end I have to say the feature is almost ruined by its bizarre style: In an effort to maybe lift if above most talking-head features there’s a heavy use of split screens, which make it incredibly distracting. Following that brief piece we get the longest feature on the disc (not counting the commentary of course) in Charlotte Etc.

The film was shot in 4K resolution with the RED One Digital Camera; in addition, the Phantom HD camera was used for the high-speed sequences. The effects team was under the impression that von Trier wouldn’t show the actual “act” on film and was surprised that he would end up wanting a close-up of the actual even. Overview - Lars von Trier (Europa, Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark) shook up the film world when he premiered Antichrist at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival. The movie devolves, particularly in the last act, into a kind of ragged, go-for-broke horror movie, complete with talking animals, malevolent forces, and Gainsbourg being turned (quite unfairly, in this reviewer's opinion) into a kind of demonic witch who takes her aggression out on her husband and herself, including some gag-worthy scenes of genital mutilation that oscillate between extreme realism and phony, rubber prosthetic fakeness.

She talks about many of the challenging scenes in the film as well as the controversy surrounding it.

But this most confrontational work yet from one of contemporary cinema’s most controversial artists is no mere provocation. Depending on how flexible your tolerance for human suffering is, I'd say yes, Antichrist is a bad film, but a different king of bad. Deciding that she needs to face her fears, he takes her to a cabin in the woods where she spent a previous summer with the boy.

Now, mankind’s only hope for salvation is a harrowing exorcism that will either cast out the Devil forever or open the door for the unspeakable birth of the Antichrist!

Cannes 2009 This is another section of special features, broken down into smaller bits, that all center around the film's thunderous unveiling at last summer's Cannes Film Festival in France. Mixed with some behind-the-scenes bits we see the test film, shot with different actors, which includes a demo of the “falling acorn” scene, one of the more striking moments in Antichrist (it’s the moment in the finished film where Dafoe stands in front of the cabin with the acorns slowly falling around him.
