Antichrist

There are two scenes showing violence towards genitals or genital mutilation. In one scene, the man's genitals are hit heavily (although this is not shown on screen), resulting in sight of blood in his semen when he ejaculates. In the other scene, the distraught woman cuts off her own clitoris using a pair of scissors. This act of self-mutilation is shown in close up, although the image is only on screen for a few seconds. The film contains other examples of strong violence, including a scene in which the woman drills a hole through the man’s leg with a bit and brace before bolting a large grindstone to the injured limb. The film also contains scenes of strong simulated sex, including female masturbation. These scenes exceed the '15' Guideline test that 'Sexual activity may be portrayed but without strong detail' but are acceptable at the '18' level.

he film contains brief images of explicit real sex (sight of a penis penetrating a vagina during a consensual sex scene and sight of the man's penis being masturbated to climax). The scenes illustrate the film's themes and the nature of the couple's relationship, and the purpose of the work - and the individual images in question - is not simply to arouse viewers but to illustrate characters, relationships and themes. The film also contains scenes of strong simulated sex, including female masturbation.
