Bleak Cinema Presents Antichrist
A grieving couple (Willem Dafoe & Charlotte Gainsbourg) return to their vacation cabin, Eden, as a means of therapy. Their presence awakens a primal malevolence within the forest and themselves.
The inaugural film of the Texas Theatre’s Bleak Cinema series, ANTICHRIST is a testament to bleak cinema’s ability to represent human truth through heightened circumstances. ANTICHRIST is a gonzo fairy tale of a film, but its viscerality is founded on personable human realities. It renders grief, pain, and despair not as macabre aberrations but the inevitable bedrock of our lives.
