00:00There's a film that shocked Cannes so much that it received an award called the Anti
00:03-Price.
00:05Every day, I make a video about the Cannes Film Festival until Dailymotion invites me to
00:08Cannes Film Festival.
00:09And if you want to know if I'm going, well, subscribe!
00:11Antichrist by Lars von Trier.
00:13In 2009, the film was presented in official competition at the Cannes Film Festival with Charlotte Gainsbourg.
00:18The story begins with a grieving couple who go to isolate themselves in a cabin in the woods after the death
00:23accidental death of their child.
00:25On paper, it looks like a psychological drama.
00:27But very quickly, the film descends into horror, nightmare, sexual violence, mutilation, and a very...
00:34the dark side of human nature.
00:35And during the Cannes screening, the audience reacted violently.
00:38The film was booed, some scenes provoked nervous laughter, spectators whistled and some left the theater.
00:44But the story gets even stranger after the screening.
00:47A jury, parallel to Cannes, decides to award him an anti-prize.
00:52Antichrist, anti-priest.
00:53And he calls it the most misogynistic film coming from the world's greatest self-proclaimed director.
00:59And the festival director considers this decision ridiculous and close to a call for censorship.
01:04Cannes finds itself in a very strange situation.
01:07On one hand, the film is accused of being unbearable and misogynistic.
01:10And on the other hand, Charlotte Gainsbourg received the award for best actress for her role in this film.
01:16So, were you shocked by the director?
01:19Let me know in the comments if you knew that.
01:20And most importantly, subscribe.
