19. Antichrist (2009)

Antichrist confronts viewers with scenes that are almost unbearable to watch. One moment shows a woman mutilating herself with scissors in a way that feels horrifyingly real. The slow pacing adds to the impact of its most brutal moments. Every act of violence feels deeply personal and hard to forget. The film explores grief and suffering in ways that feel raw and unfiltered. Its disturbing imagery and emotional weight make it one of Lars von Trier’s most controversial works.
