Directed by: Lars von TrierReleased: 2011
the latest from lars von trier. if you're expecting more along the lines of "antichrist," you'll be disappointed-- but if you want a genuinely depressing and thoughtful story, this is it. in short, a planet (melancholia) that's been hiding behind the sun is hurtling it's way towards us, and it will completely destroy the earth. two sisters (kirsten dunst and charlotte gainsbourg) deal with their relationship, the coming destruction, and dunst's crippling depression. much to my surprise, i didn't hate dunst in this movie; she was actually very, very good... maybe even oscar worthy. plus, she looks great topless. it's a slow, absolutely beautiful film that really makes you think about ... well, everything. 9/10.
