Antichrist is a superbly crafted and beautifully shot film. A mother (Charlotte Gainsbourg) grieves over the death of her baby, who crawled through an open window and fell on a snowy night when she and her husband (Willem Dafoe) were having sex in another room. While still depressed her husband takes her to the place she fears the most - Eden, a cabin in the woods. There, the plot builds relentlessly up to its harrowing climax. Von Trier uses many symbolic images and biblical allusions while exhibiting a meticulous eye for detail. P, V, MS
