Review of Melancholia (2011) by Cesy O — 30 Jan 2013
From the beginning of the film, it was apparent that this was supposed to arouse the senses as a strong representation of art in film, technically I cannot argue this as any film is technically art, but soon after this logic came a feeling of shortcoming to this grand idea.
Shaky to seem realistic camera movements layered by a beautifully dramatic score of music, ultimately led to a strong feeling of no replay value. Slow is the commonly used word for what I had endured in hopes of many different possible plot sequences to unravel before me in this film.
A lack of this would usually reveal a certain unpredictability, but still this was not the case. From start to finish one would only assume this was a beautiful idea within the mind of the writer, on screen however, one is left to desire more from an idea which has so much to offer.
