Lars von Trier plus Charlotte Gainsbourg plus Willem Dafoe - what could possibly go wrong (other than everything)? In this episode, I explore the controversial 2009 film Antichrist, which shocked the film community in unimagineable ways after its premiere at Cannes. A dark but apt journey into the lives of a married couple struggling after the loss of their son, Nic, and the first installment of the Depression Trilogy, Antichrist is not for the faint of heart.
