Antichrist
(2009)
Filmgate were asked to create the visual effects for Lars von
Trier's highly anticipated new feature, "Antichrist". Produced by
Zentropa in collaboration with
Film i Väst, our work here at Filmgate consisted mostly of 2D compositing and enhancing shots.
No doubt, von Trier’s reputation for dealing with controversial
topics will be proven if not surpassed in this film, as ”Antichrist”
depics the director’s own take on anything that the general masses
would consider taboo.
A dreamlike, graphic and surreal story unfolds as it keeps
challenging the viewer’s eye and mind to the very last frame. We follow
a married couple, played by Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who
after the tragic unexpected death of their young son retreat to a cabin
in the woods. In doing so, they enter the unknown. What is this place,
and what lures in the deep woods outside the cabin? Can they even trust
each other?
