“ Antichrist flyers have even been sabotaged by outraged members of the public, ripped from display stands and destroyed.” So while The Telegraph called Antichrist “the year’s most shocking film”, the bad news for these fragile flowers is that they ain’t seen nothing yetīut back to the Artificial Eye press release, possibly more entertaining than the film itself: “Early UK preview screenings have seen people run for the exit during the final scenes, physically retching,” it continues. “Critics have called it the most shocking and graphically violent film ever to be screened at Cannes,” added The Telegraph, presumably referring to critics who actually watch the films they’re talking about. I haven’t seen it myself, nor shall I - and I speak as a broad-minded arts critic, strongly libertarian in tendency.”
Unsurprisingly, the Daily Mail whizzed right in, with Christopher Hart reassuring his readers by saying: “ You do not need to see Lars von Trier’s Antichrist to know how revolting it is. “The poster image has been BANNED for use on the London underground”. “ Antichrist was given an 18 certificate by the BBFC and remains completely uncut, despite scenes containing explicit penetrative sex and masturbation, extreme torture and genital mutilation ,” thundered the company’s own press release.
