After the death of their young son, a grief-stricken couple retreat to a remote cabin in the woods — "Eden" — where the husband, a therapist, attempts to lead his wife through her trauma. What begins as therapy collapses into a descent through madness, misogyny, and supernatural violence. The first of Lars von Trier's Depression Trilogy is one of the most polarising films of the 21st century: walk-outs at Cannes, a special Anti-Award from the ecumenical jury, and Charlotte Gainsbourg's Best Actress award. A film to be reckoned with, not loved.
