Antichrist

I just watched Lars Von Trier's latest movie, "Antichrist".

In my most humble inexperienced opinion, it has a few exquisitely crafted images of wondrous beauty with a milky, dreamlike quality.

But without a doubt, it is a horrible combination of extraordinarily unpleasant elements.
It is a crazy attempt to merge three extremely different genres: art house, horror and hard-core pornography.
It's offensively misogynistic.
It's needlessly graphic in its use of violence.

Von Trier has made Antichrist after being released from an assylum, and it seems he needs even more psychiatric help than the last time he entered the psychiatric ward.
