Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist Movie Trailer

Posted on Monday, April 13th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta

antichrist

AICN has discovered the trailer for Lars Von Trier’s Anticrist, a horrific drama that tells the story of a grieving couple who retreat to a cabin in the woods, hoping to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse. In the initial press release, Von Trier said that the film would offer “a glimpse into the dark world of my imagination: into the nature of my fears, into the nature of Antichrist.” The trailer is certainly creepy and unsettling. Watch it after the jump and leave your thoughts in the comments below.

    Creepy... looking fwd to this m/,
  • It looks great. Lars Von Trier is the man. Especially for Dancer in the Dark.
  • looks awesome
  • freemachine
    DaFoe is one of my favorite actors, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, though not considered a traditionally attractive woman is HOT in IMO. There's something about her....

    This film looks great.
  • Geet
    I agree, I find her very attractive.

    i liked it better when spam was done by robots
  • There's my chippy!!!

    Is it just me or does that title logo give away the ending? Anti-Christ with a symbol for female making up the t? Doesn't that just tell us it'll probably end up being her as the Anti-Christ instead of what we'd expect (i.e. a child to be born)?
  • Jamieson
    That is the halo of the cross. And plus this movie is distasteful, for, it exploits individual's religious beliefs to turn a profit; much like what was done with the passion of the christ. And that sucked. I like the art direction, but the concept is just wrong. Like a "shining kind of cabin horror" film with religious overtones. Good thought bad plan.
  • adrian
    Religion is an interest topic for anything, so, to be put out in a form of art is one way to discuss the subject. Films should make think and have fun at the same time. What you're doing is believing that your religion is the only one out there or that everybody should think the same way you do. Let there be discussion and provoke the mind. Let us explore a "dark" subject in catholic religion, so that we can have more information and know more about it.
  • I doubt Lars Von Trier made this movie to become filthy rich. He's making a personal movie. If Picasso made a painting about the Anti Christ and sold it would you say that he "exploits individual's religious beliefs to turn a profit"?
  • looks creepy as shit! I'm in!
  • I am actually super excited about this one....

    also because finally there's a movie that doesn't seem to be a generic piece of crap movie that gets shelled out to make a quick buck and it's "horror" is things jumping at the camera...

    can't wait
  • dxr
    In a glut of dumbed down pg-13 horror and over the top violent remakes, this looks amazing. Plus, I love Defoe. Can't wait!
  • Wow that shit looks crazy, I can't wait for it...
  • I will see any film by Lars Von Trier.
  • stz
    I am so excited for this... Lars Von Trier is a unique filmmaker ... this brought back memories from the kingdom...
  • wow looks absolutley awesome :)

    Lars Van Trier is really a great Filmmaker, but i wished Thomas Vinterberg would also make more Movies (~ or movies who are released at my home, the last one was dear wendy.. )
  • nillerJ
    In my opinion Vinterberg has only really made one good film(Festen)
  • Brian
    Before I even watch I have to say I like it because it's playing Lascia Ch'io Pianga, great song! Celtic music is awesome.
  • That looks crazy. Looking forward to it.
  • Some shots seem video-y. You know what i mean by video-y???
  • I agree, it looks as though it was shot on HD. This trailer is a perfect example of where I think FILM would have worked a lot better visually, some of these shots look quite cheap, even though they are composed and light beautifully, it's still in the nature of HD (in my opinion) to have a slightly cheap feel to it.

    You notice this quite a lot when something is moving at a fast pace, the motion blur looks slightly 'off'. I know it's to do with the difference in format, but I don't like the way it looks at all.

    Lars von Trier is one of the founders of the Dogme95 movement, and one of their main rules is to utilize hand held digital cameras. I respect him greatly for sticking by this, and in my opinion it gives his films a very specific feeling. Obviously however, this is not a true Dogme95 film, but you can see the similarities and influences it has had upon his later work.
  • Okay, I feel slightly stupid for not picking up on that. Regardless, I think this movie may have benefited from a more traditional approach. Having said that, I'm only judging a freaking trailer, I'll be more than happy to see this in theaters.

    OUAW....

    I'm into Lars von Trier just as much as the next person, but that trailer definitely didn't give me the vibe of a Trier movie. But trailers do that sometimes, and I'm going to see this film regardless. Looking forward to it.
  • I love the look of this and it seems like it might be an entertaining psychological horror.
  • Wow. I didn't exactly expect to find a trailer (esp. so soon) for Von Trier's latest awesomefest! (Thanks Zentropa, AICN, /Film)
  • Lars Von Trier + Willem Dafoe = <3
  • musicsoup
    let's go to the cabin in the woods, try and get our marriage back in shape, then let's have sex by this gnarly looking tree with hands coming out of it, so that i can get you pregnant with the antichrist. or at least, that's what i'm guessing happens.

    hells yes, this movie looks gnarly.
  • shot in digital?

    looks crazy as hell
  • toho
    so much for Cinema Verite, eh Lars?
  • Fir3Wolf
    This does look creepy but I have no idea whats going on.
  • Willl Smithh
    Von Trier + Thriller(Dafoe+Gainsbourg) = Great
  • Chris
    It's shot on RED. LIke Knowing was.
  • his movies are always unsettling, this looks like a cross into the horror (or 'thriller') genre in a very natural way...

    all about this one...
  • This movie looks good. It would definitely be a rental but I'd like to watch it sometime in my life.
  • JohnnyBGood
    wonderful, this movie could cause 50-100 maniacs to go off and kill some people.....yeh man....just what we need!
  • douglas
    johnnybdumb
  • DrCruel
    Very Dutch.
  • edgar
    What the world needs is hope, not this - sorry but I say PASS!
  • Abuzer Yal?nk?l?c
    interesting...
  • Janne sepulveda
    Hallo! I have seen the movie and i liked it very much. but i have to say that this is not for the faint-hearted people. It`s a very strong movie. I must say there were one or two scenes that shocked me a bit.
    I really recommend this movie.
  • Avel
    You know what? I have been married to a Norwegian (they are kind of like the Dutch you know), and this story reminded me of him somehow, this depressive people, getting away from the real world, this thing in the woods, by the trees, people kind of crazy, it is creepy. And my Norwegian husband is a misogynist for sure! von Trier is very strange but I love Dafoe and Gainsbourg is getting better!
    Good choice of actors Trier! I would love to see it!
