Lars von Trier is the type of director who’s not scared of polarising audiences. Not content with making straightforward films, he’s instead built up a career by following the more controversial route, exploring topics that are puzzling, difficult, or both – not concerning himself with the dozens of cinemagoers he may be excluding in the process. Melancholia, the Danish auteur’s latest oeuvre epitomises his beliefs and cinematic style in a completely dazzling, meditative fashion: one certain to split audiences right down the middle.
Opening with a visually beguiling yet skin-crawlingly ominous prelude that depicts the moment just before the planet Melancholia swallows up our very own Earth, the gloomy tone is distinctively set through eerie slow-motion and frightfully austere imagery. From here, we are taken back in time as the events preceding the end of the world play out over two halves.
The first, simply titled “Justine”, is...

Title: Melancholia Directed By: Lars von Trier Starring: Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgård, Stellan Skarsgård, Brady Corbet, Udo Kier, Cameron Spurr As someone with an appreciation for a more literal approach to storytelling, taking to Lars von Trier’s style of work has never been easy. However, with Melancholia, von Trier finds an absolutely impeccable middle ground, providing the audience with a uniquely sensible tale, but not holding back when dousing the piece with his authorial expressivity, giving us something that’s tremendously stirring. Broken up into two sections, the first part of Melancholia focuses on Justine (Kirsten Dunst). Right after marrying Michael (Alexander Skarsgård),...

Director Lars von Trier has never been easily accessible. Part of his genius is the ability to go places others might not dare, shoot imagery no one else could even fathom, and push his actors into authentic performances that risk sending them into the same psychological tailspin as their characters. So you can just imagine how unique his vision of the apocalypse would be. It would portray emotionally unstable people as they near their end. It would expose the underbelly of familial strife. Portray the sort of disaster that would devastate in normal circumstances, but seem so trivial in the grand scope of mortality. In grand, stunning fashion, von Trier does all these things as he weaves together a story of two sisters and their eccentric family—coping, surviving, and always looking towards the sky. The planet coming their way is named Melancholia, but one has to wonder if it...

We have until the 30th of September to prepare ourselves for Lars Von Trier’s latest to hit UK cinemas and if you were in any doubt as to what Melancholia was about here’s a new trailer to lay bare the beginning of the end.
A firm favourite on the festival circuit, and thankfully not overshadowed by the controversial comments made by its director at Cannes, Melancholia stars Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Alexander Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Jesper Christensen, Udo Kier, Brady Corbet and Cameron Spurr. As you’ll see below there’s a wedding and a huge planet looming over the Earth putting a real dampner on the reception, I can’t imagine there’ll be many people vying for the tossed bouquet.
We’re seeing the film in the next few days and the review will be up on the site shortly.

Coming your way from the critically-acclaimed release at Cannes, Lars von Trier's Melancholia will premiere on VOD October 7, 2011 and opens in theaters November 11, 2011, and a Us poster has finally been revealed.
Reviews ranged from calling it brilliant, to a complete mess, by the general pulse leans far more to one side than the other, with a rottentomatoes.com score hovering right around 75% fresh at the moment. Truth be told, even among critics, dark, brooding, slow-moving tales of depression and the woes of the inner workings of life aren't generally the sort of films that stir great, cheering responses... and that's when they don't also involve a planet hurtling toward the Earth.
Our story involves the slow-moving breakdown of a wedding, and all the main and tertiary relationships involved. As everything and everyone seems to fall apart, it's discovered that a planet seems to have shown up out of nowhere,...

Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
On paper, Melancholia should be nothing more than an Armageddon meets Deep Impact-esque affair, full of near misses and romantic sub plots. A nearby planet is on course to collide with and destroy the Earth. But this being a Lars von Trier movie, a man who has previously explored topics including self-mutilation, it was never going to be an entirely straight forward movie that sees Bruce Willis save the day once again.
The opening sequence of Melancholia instantly lets us know that there will be no happy ending here. No amount of science or weaponary could save the Earth as it is swallowed up by Melancholia. It is an apocalyptic sucker-punch that results in a movie which is infinitely morbid, but completely compelling and at times very moving.
Melancholia is then played out over two chapters. The first focusing on Kirsten Dunst who plays Justine,...

Nothing is really known about the film outside of Trier describing it as “a beautiful movie about the end of the world“, and a few other details (here).

True Blood Alexander Skarsgard seen in new 'Melancholia' movie trailer. A new,weird movie trailer (below) has recently popped up online,which features HBO, True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard. It also has one of my favorite actresses Kirsten Dunst in it. The movie is called "Melancholia," and it looks quite weird,but interesting at the same time. I also think Kirsten is seen nude a couple of times in it unless that's a body double in those scenes. Anyways, the movie also stars : Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alexander Skarsgård, Brady Corbet, Cameron Spurr, Charlotte Rampling, Jesper Christensen, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård, Udo Kier,and Kiefer Sutherland, and is distributed by Zentropa Entertainment.
