...with their son wandering into the room, witnessing their coitus, climbing out an open window, and falling. The image of the child falling in the snow-filled sky to the sound of Händel’s “Rinaldo” is just one of the scenes that impress—if only in passing—in “Antichrist,” and builds credit for the film to develop, if nothing else. But this image of a child falling in space, evocative of the fertile—however unambitious—dynamic...
Nonetheless, Ishiguro remains a master at sketching out environments and characters through minimal, precise language. The struggling songwriter manages to conjure a grimy, lethargic music scene with characteristically British wit: “But the majority of auditions happened at a much more shambolic level. In fact, when you saw the way most bands went about things, it was no mystery why the whole scene in London was dying on its feet.” In the same way, the American jazz musician who befriends Gardner, has a completely different syntax that instantly identifies him as a member...

Mimicking the discovery, the exhibition moves from within the tomb to inside the coffin. The panels of the coffin are intricately painted with images for the afterlife. In a presentation scene, Djehutynakt sits before a crowd of gifts, including jars, birds with interlocking heads, gazelle-like creatures, and even an eviscerated ox. The painting is sophisticated—the governors’ legs are colored in two different shades of red to create foreground and background—and the detail is impressive...
