Some say that this is the most sensitive film by Lars von Trier (and who attribute it to a certain "maturity from the director"), a filmmaker who is famous for hype (which I love). Perhaps because it has been this strange feeling of contentment and discontent.
Each of the leading film is meticulously disguised, which leads to two paths: Lars wanted to communicate something through acts appar... read more

A visually impressive but self-important film in which discomfiting (even excruciatingly bitter) interactions, neuroses and apocalyptic anxiety are bathed in romanticised visuals and music. Drawing it would seem on Trier's own experience of depression and on Kubrick and Tarkovsky for prophetic depth, the film grates more than it enlightens, and feels like a misanthropist's revenge.

The Best Films of 2010s (50 movies items)

" Oh how I love family drama, and how Lars von Trier is the master of it in this spectacular film. But it's not only about family drama, it's about world's end. Melancholia's dreamlike pictures and nightmarish setting are one of the kind."

A Complete Review of Lars von Trier's work (16 movies items)

" Cast : Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alexander Skarsgård, Brady Corbet, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård, Udo Kier, Kiefer Sutherland What was it about? By now, I have seen all the movies directed by von Trier and, even though I have the highest respect for his work and I think he is truly an artist, I have to confess, I’m not a huge fan and this movie was a perfect example explaining why. I mean, first of all, it was gorgeous to look at, probably the most beautif"
