Review of Melancholia (2011) by Peter B — 10 Sep 2012
Melancholia floats in an air of supernatural malaise and tension, a melancholy mirrored in everything and everyone. With Oscar-worthy brilliance, Dunst embraces Justine?s fragmented soul ? simultaneously full of effervescence and dark despair.
Alexander Skarsgard as the desperately-in-love yet defeated husband, and Gainsbourg the stoic yet strained sister, are equally poignant. The remaining supporting cast from Sutherland to Hurt all play their parts potently and with perfect pitch.
