ANTICHRIST: Mo Cunni Mo Problems

For many, Lars von Trier’s Antichrist is summed up in a single piercing act involving scissors and Charlotte Gainsbourg’s genitalia. The moment incited a wave of physical disgust through fellow matinée-goers, and near-univesal derision among critics, who took it to epitomize tactless, misogynist spectacle. The ecumenical jury at Cannes called Antichrist the “most misogynist film of all time.”

Which is odd, because at that pivotal moment I found myself thinking: “Get it, girl.”

“It” being bloody orgiastic revenge for centuries-long gender oppression, told through the familiar sensationalism of Horror and sung with a satirical jouissance unique to von Trier.
