abstract
On a crazy and slightly sad night, a couple lost their lovely little son Nick. This incident gave them a great blow and brought this originally contradictory marriage to the brink of collapse. The wife (charlotte gainsbourg) is immersed in grief for a long time. As a psychological counselor, the husband (willem dafoe) hopes to heal the broken marriage on the one hand, and tries to make his wife forget the past through psychological counseling on the other. Finally, they decided to go to the cabin in the Garden of Eden to relax. The year before last, a woman brought Nick here to write a paper on Christ and anti-women. Memories of the past made her nervous and flustered when she repeated this place. Psychotherapy is carried out under the mood of anxiety and irritability. Instead of finding the long-awaited light, the couple fell into more boundless darkness.

The antichrist has too many meanings in the film. The husband has suddenly become a victim of being trampled on by others from being the master of fate and full of reason. From this perspective, men, as masters of modern society, are like women's "Christ", while anti-Christ is women's resistance to men, even killing them. There are the cruelest violence and naked sex scenes in the film. The director repeatedly tortured the audience's visual nerves in order to draw a grand proposition equal to looking at Christ. The audience's watching process changed from horror to admiration. The director took the depressing atmosphere to the extreme, and then used the extreme explosion to disintegrate the opposition. He does not hesitate to face the self-mutilation organs of the hero and heroine, which is similar to Jin Jide's addiction. The sex organ itself is a totem with the social status of men and women. If a woman wants to control a man, except as a child because of love, it is a violent terror without warning.
Some scenes are actually beautifully shot, elegant slow-motion shots, perfect black-and-white composition, and opera selections. No one expected that an emotional wife would become so cruel. In this forest that blends with women, nature as a mother is anti-Christ. Faced with countless vague women, the male Christ can only choose to escape and be exiled to his own territory-modern society. Through the extreme situation of human nature and motherhood, the audience is forced to bear the most direct pain by biting religion and tearing up normal values and family structure.
