Controversial (2)

It took about five minutes for Antichrist to become the most notorious movie at Cannes this year, and its American distributor, IFC, has no plans to let you forget it. Lars von Trier’s sicko epic of parental grief and genital mutilation will open on demand Oct. 21 and in limited theaters Oct. 23, less than six months after its premiere. Many Cannes titles take much longer than that to open in American theaters, if they even reach them at all. But as the late-October date suggests, IFC plans to market Antichrist as a horror movie, a classification few seem willing to dispute even if that’s not strictly the case. It's not clear yet if the film will be released unedited (or uncensored, if you prefer). Starring Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Dafoe as a nameless couple who retreat to a cabin in the woods after their son's death, Antichrist shows a wife struggling with depression and sexuality, and her psychologist husband's attempts to heal her.
