Review of Melancholia (2011) by Spangle — 14 Nov 2015
It is honestly impressive how much of this went over my head, but I did understand a good portion of it and loved all of it the same. This film is masterful in every way. Lars von Trier may be a petulant, egotistical child, but damn can he make a film.
Brilliant cinematography with beautiful shot after beautiful shot, great musings and visualizations of depression and its effects, and phenomenal special effects, all come together for a visually stunning film that leaves you awe struck.
It may be slow, but it is methodical. No matter how much it hits the breaks sometimes, it is always engaging and did I mention beautiful? Yeah, it is beautiful. Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg are absolutely phenomenal in this film that has to be one of the most meticulously crafted and damn near perfect films I have ever seen.
Like, this film is fantastic.
