The following extract is taken directly from the website of the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), specifically from the page dealing with Lars von Trier’s latest work, Antichrist. The page in question went online last Friday (12th June 2009), and I ask the reader’s forbearance for what is a somewhat lengthy quotation:
ANTICHRIST is an English language drama from director Lars von Trier. It tells the story of a couple trying to come to terms with the death of their young son. After the mother experiences a mental breakdown, they retreat to an isolated cabin in the woods where the child’s father, a therapist, hopes to help the mother to confront her fears.
