Need something to listen to while you trick or treat? The Double Murder podcast is here to help: Danny! and Tim are back from their brief hiatus to pit another pair of movies against each other!
First up is Antichrist (2009), Lars von Trier’s first installment in his “Depression Trilogy”. In the film, He (Willem Dafoe) and She (Charlotte Gainsbourg) retreat to a cabin in the woods to process their grief after losing their son. The environment becomes increasingly sinister as the pair become more and more hostile to each other.
Next up is The Witch (2015), made by newcomer Robert Eggers, received a wide release earlier this year. The film follows a puritan family in early America after being banished from their village. The youngest of the family disappears as the rest become tormented by evil forces in the surrounding woods, and each other.
Both films explore the relationship between man and nature, misogyny, and grief. Both are beautifully shot, and leave lasting impressions one way or another. But which will you hosts pic as this episode’s favorite? Tune in to Double Murder to find out!
