Antichrist Denmark, 2009 ☆☆☆☆☆

Just one I thought I had seen the best of Lars von Trier comes this new movie. He had to go through a depression to come up with this dark story. The nature as a dark force and evil and witchcraft are all mixed together in this story. A couple grieves the accidental death of their son and escape the city and go into their cottage house in an attempt to reconcile themselves. Things go from bad to worse. Von Trier is more flexible with the Dogma doctrine and makes use of digital effects to create beautiful dark scenes. There are also sex and violence scenes so explicit that people actually left the movie theatre. Nevertheless, this is simply put a masterpiece.
