According to the British Board of Film Classification, Antichrist has “images of g**ital contact” and “strong images of real s**” that depict “unsimulated p***tration.”
“It was a good decision because, if it was me, then that’s all that people would talk about,” Dafoe said Dazed, referring to the director’s employment of adult stars to shoot the nudity sequences.
Lars clearly wants the characters to have g**itals, but saying, “Oh, they really had s**!” would be distracting. I am not sure what I would have answered if he had asked me to do it.
Antichrist has developed a cult following despite being a source of conflict for many; one admirer wrote: “It’s my favorite film of all time, it bold, existential, unflinching, surreal, brave, and brilliant.”
