Antichrist is coming to UVA

On Sunday, of all days.

OffScreen, the student group that hosts public screenings of independent and foreign films, has announced their first film of the season: Lars Von Trier’s so-very-disturbing Antichrist.

It’s a bold move considering groups far and wide called for a ban on the film, which stars Willem Dafoe and Charlotte Gainsbourg, and includes a horrific—spoiler alert!—genital mutilation sequence. Four people reportedly fainted at its premier in Cannes.

Antichrist is showing in the dark and musty Newcomb Hall Theater on Sunday, January 31, at 7 and 9:30pm, for $3.
