You love or hate them, there is not much in between. Some suggested Antichrist to be misogynistic. Commonly, we see Lars von Trier's Antichrist as a film of a therapy doomed to fail. In the prologue, a wonderful Händel aria plays, we see unbelievably beautiful images in slow motion, the couple making love. At the same time, a small child climbs up to the window and jumps out, merging the purest aesthetics with greatest brutality. You can watch the analysis here: www. The woman is guilty. When she has the orgasm, the child jumps out of the window. She is supposed to be the loving caring mother, but for her husband the mistress as well. Between the child and the sex scenes we see a washing machine again and again. The latter rotates and finishes with the woman reaching orgasm. Now she is no longer allowed to be a mistress and becomes a housewife again. The exception is perhaps much more telling than the rule, the social demand on women remains unattainably high. As housewife, mother, and lover, she remains the eternally oppressed and the eternally feminine, both attracting and repelling men. Women seem an eternal disappointment to men, as Simone de Beauvoir once put it, she can never quite fulfil all expectations, that man have. What the film shows here, is the dilemma of a patriarchal society. Therein lies the true victory for man, liberator, or conqueror — that woman freely recognises him as her destiny. This is exactly what the man in Antichrist, played by Willem Dafoe, demands of his wife, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg. She is traumatised, he works as a therapist, but never should a therapist treat his own family members. Dafoe overrides this and believes only he can redeem her, which ends in disaster. The goal of therapy is to reintegrate the woman into society, we can think of Jacques Lacan's criticism directed at American psychoanalysts. He accused them of merely returning the subject to the American way of Lars Von Trier Antichrist Sex Scene. The man in Antichrist pursues similar intentions, precisely what the woman opposes. They represent their respective gender without possessing a psyche. A wonderful paradox, since the film mainly deals with psychology. The film takes us out of the city, out of civilization, into a dark forest, so that from now on we find ourselves in a mythologically charged topos where the man wants to treat his wife. At first, the woman pretends to be slowly healed, but as it turns out, in the forest hut the woman has previously written her dissertation on witch trials. Now she is studying these occult books again. She reads how women are persecuted and maltreated, representing evil. We should not be misled by Lars von Trier, even if he repeatedly flirts with misogynistic statements in interviews. He is not concerned with that. Let's assume the female protagonist does not read occult books, but rather revolutionary feminist writings: for example Clara Zetkin, Rosa Luxemburg and Simone de Beauvoir. From the reading, the woman realises that as a woman she remains the oppressed one who just cannot free herself from this predicament. Importantly, the woman recognises her desperate situation and does not believe in reformation or treatment. Her husband wants to wilfully lead her back into the old role model and she refuses to do so, truly revolutionary potential. When the woman realises her desperate situation, an unbelievably brutal excess of violence ensues. She mistreats and castrates her husband to destroy the patriarchal order. Lars von Trier shows her next step in all clarity: the woman mutilates her genitals. We should not infer female self-hatred here, nor argue chauvinistically with female frigidity. The mutilation expresses the revolutionary's inherent asceticism, needed for a political revolution in which sex is only a nuisance. Secondly, this revolution must be universal, indeed freed from the categories male and female.
There are phalluses in porno whose distended veins speak of the integrity of the hardworking heart, but there is so little specific content in the faces!
