    Lars Von Trier’s Antichrist Banned In France SEVEN Years After Release

    ‘Antichrist’, the controversial 2009 movie by Lars Von Trier, has been banned in France. A French court has passed down the ruling that the movie, which was previously given a '16’ rating, should be reclassified following pressure on the classification board from Promouvoir, a Catholic traditionalist group. It said that the previous classification was 'a mistake’, and that it should only be seen by over-18s.
