Melancholia 15
Nearly overshadowed by its director, Lars von Trier’s (Breaking the Waves, Dogville, Antichrist) typically controversial appearance at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, the disturbing and beautiful Melancholia nevertheless deserves to be seen.
Kirsten Dunst (The Virgin Suicides) is Justine, a young woman about to be married to her long-term boyfriend. Seemingly joyful; she is nevertheless cast into a deep depression on her wedding day as her divorced parents bicker, becoming increasingly sad and desperate as the night draws on. Meanwhile a new planet, the titular Melancholia, is found to be hurtling towards Earth. As the population face near certain annihilation, von Trier focuses on the relationship between Justine and her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg – Lemming, Antichrist) – the still melancholic Dunst merely cynical at the thought of Earth’s imminent demise, whilst Claire is frantic with fear.
