Melancholia

Trier Lars Von

Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, 2011, 130'

I t’s Justine’s big day; her sumptuous wedding starts blissfully but is soon clouded in darkness as a planet gradually approaches and threatens to collide with ours. Lars von Trier mixes drama and science fiction and juxtaposes the fate of the earth with two sisters’ conflictual relationship. Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg give a rare emotional impact to this visually breathtaking masterpiece.
