More than ten years ago, when director Lars Von Trier made The Idiots, he was told to blur out sexually intimate scenes are they were almost pornographic. The director’s latest Antichrist, however, is completely uncut, and appallingly so.
The movie is incredibly gory. This includes scenes wherein the actor’s complete anatomical parts are not concealed, and it involves a scene where the lead actress uses a pair of scissor to cut into her privates. In fact, that is not all. Most scenes in the movie depict the director’s perversions into blood and gore and had many disgusted critics walking out of a private screening at Cannes. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) has definitely become more liberal over the past couple of decades. Films that would have been rated 18 in the past are now 15 or 12A.
