A movie that will make you sick and leave you with a heavy heart. That's what happened to me after watching it. I even dreamed of the murder of four students plotted in the high school I attended, one of which I did myself, as well as a mass murder of poor people in a soccer field. Whether this has been an aftermath of this movie, I can't say for sure.

As with Melancholia (having the same author Lars Von Trier), Antichrist is very graphic and beautifully made, with a depth that not everyone may find pleasing, or even find. Have you even seen a movie and forced yourself to see something hidden underneath the symbolism? At some point in the film, I was in deep thought, if it was just me, not getting a hint of purpose for this film, or if there was even any sense to it.

Just a word of advice: take courage when watching this. Not for the faint of heart.
