Review of Melancholia (2011) by Christopher C — 05 Jul 2012
By far the most beautiful, hypnotic yet dysphoric and, excuse the pun, melancholic film I have ever seen. Melancholia in my eyes would reach out to any soul that appreciates a more artistic direction than a sonic paced story.
Kirsten Dunst's performance is overwhelming, and deduced me to a state of awe. Being an end of the world movie, you'd expect a apocalyptic natured theme, but Melancholia is very story driven. The story is moulded around the fact Earth is doomed, but explores other concepts of state of mind and doesn't necessarily come across as a typical apocalyptic film, yet on all a more raptured level.
.. it totally is. It is perfectly shot, well acted and deserves admiration for its boldness. By far one of my new favourites, and always will be. Melancholia is simply amazing!
