[T]he climactic cosmic collision delivers real bang for the bucks...

Lars von Trier offers his own, highly personal version of apocalypse: a celestial collision rendered in surprisingly lovely digital effects and accompanied by mighty blasts of Wagner.

Von Trier creates a blackly comic delirium that is terrifying and completely exhilarating. Full Review

"Melancholia" isn't an angry film, just one that doesn't offer anything in the way of comfort, except for the satisfaction that can be taken away from great art and appreciation of von Trier as the rare filmmaker not to compromise. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- Kirsten Dunst already won the best actress award at the last Cannes Film Festival, and the film is characterized by a tense plot, a specialty of Lars von Trier (Antichrist). [Full review in Spanish] Full Review

Product Description:

Lars Von Trier's MELANCHOLIA, a meditation on depression and the end of the world, stars Kirsten Dunst as an emotionally troubled newlywed named Justine, whose sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) throws her a lavish wedding party. While her lack of emotional stability begins to take a toll on Justine's new marriage as well as the party -- and old wounds are exposed -- Claire's wealthy husband John (Kiefer Sutherland) also knows a great deal about a planet that is on a possible collision course with Earth, further muddying the waters. The second half of the movie focuses on Claire, who ends up taking her sister in after the marriage collapses, and also begins to fear that John is hiding apocalyptically bad news. John Hurt and Charlotte Rampling co-star. MELANCHOLIA screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.
