A grieving couple retreat to “Eden”, their isolated cabin in the woods, where they hope to repair their broken hearts and troubled marriage. But nature takes its course and things go from bad to worse...“Two years ago, I suffered from depression. Everything, no matter what, seemed unimportant, trivial. I couldn’t work. Six months later, just as an exercise, I wrote a script. It was a kind of therapy, but also a search, a test to see if I would ever make another film. The work on the script did not follow my usual modus operandi. Scenes were added for no reason. Images were composed free of logic or dramatic thinking. They often came from dreams I was having at the time, or dreams I’d had earlier in my life. Once again, the subject was “Nature”, but in a different and more direct way than before. In a more personal way. I can offer no excuse for “Antichrist”. Other than my absolute belief in the film – the most important film of my entire career!”, – says Lars von Trier.
