Review of Melancholia (2011) by Martin M — 14 Oct 2018
Melancholia is at once a beautiful film and one with the trappings of immense pain. Taking place around the time a planet is about to collide with our planet the film opens at the wedding of a certain Justine- a depressed woman played excellently by Kirsten Dunst.
Lars Von Trier is a risky filmmaker and with Melancholia he has channeled all that risqué factor into a good story with some fantastic visuals. The acting is uniform throughout and the pacing is very good.
Melancholia is a film that should be seen even if you don't like art movies. This one just might change your perspective. (Art house/sci-fi psychological drama).
