Review of Melancholia (2011) by The3Academysins — 06 Mar 2019

Such a strange, crazy, but beautiful follow up to Antichrist. Lars Von Trier pushes the artistic capabilities he has to the edge in Melancholia. Without giving too much away, the story is a presentation of depression shown through the lens of cosmic catastrophe.

Fantastic performances, beautiful cinematography, great uses of surrealism and metaphor too. The only thing that holds Melancholia back from being a higher score than an 8 is that sometimes it gets a little too over-indulgent in it's tragedy, which will definitely prove to be a hurdle for a lot of viewers.
