Review of Melancholia (2011) by Hipsteran — 16 Nov 2011
It's pretty impressive that Lars Von Trier always manages to make movies that are always controversial among both critics and the audience. Melancholia is certainly one of them. We see death as a main topic here; depression, dysfunctional families, wedding.
.. Some might say it is dark, long and slow. And in fact they are right. However, weirdly this makes you feel every damn emotion it the picture, you almost feel like you're a part of the movie. That's why Melancholia is a success for the director.
With is multi dimensional script, great acting and moving visuals (the opening scene) it is one of the best movies of the year.
