Lars Von Triers ~ Melancholia

[woodenheart]

”A beautiful movie about the end of the world”





The film begins with the destruction of Earth and then jumps back in time.The story will be about two sisters, Justine and Claire (Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg), who are becoming increasingly more distant from each other.There will be a wedding during the first part of the film between Justine and Michael (Alexander Skarsgard). Soon after the wedding Justine becomes melancholic, which makes her stay calm when Earth is threatened by a collision with another planet that has recently emerged from behind the sun, while Claire, on the other hand, becomes fearful of what is to come. Trier has said that he considers all of his previous films to end happily, and that this will be the first with an unhappy ending.

The movie’s “R” rating comes from scenes involving the completely naked Dunst which lend an even more element of realism and a sense of vulnerability.

The film is set to be released in Denmark on 26 May 2011 through Nordisk Film. Magnolia Pictures acquired the distribution rights for North America. It is also scheduled to screen In Competition at the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

This really looks beautiful. I really liked Antichrist so I'm thinking this is gonna be awesome.

Pics look cool. can't watch the vid at work... Probably check it out.

This film is just awesome - a proper 9/10, however it won't appeal to everyone...it's very dark, very overpowering, and the emotions it creates in the viewer struggle to lift them out of the gloom. It's another film that will affect you for a long time after it's finished.

Kirstin Dunst's performance is nothing short of amazing, once you realise what's wrong, it makes it all the more haunting....

This film was amazing to look at. The music very beautiful. Great actors and a very deep, dark story...depressing yet ummm, fuckin beautiful.

Kirsten was great in here. I'm still thinking about this movie and its been several hours. K.I.N.G and I rewrote the ending in our minds if it were us in this movie... What we would do...

Anyway, 9/10 just brilliant!
