Edinburgh Festival

Antichrist

When middle class couple Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Defoe's son dies in a freak accident they retreat to their woodland cabin to heal. But soon guilt, confusion and some undefined eschatological force puts them in a very different place. A fine slice of unbridled and unpleasant pantheistic horror that's underlined by themes of grief and guilt.
