ReviewsGuardian UK - Even as a longtime Von Trier doubter, I now have to admit it grows on you; there's a mawkish fascination and some flashes of real visual brilliance..., This Is London - An operatic celebration of taking the whole world with you., Daily Telegraph - Dunst is exceptional, so utterly convincing in the lead role - trouble, serene, a fierce savant - that it feels like a career breakthrough., Empire Magazine - Audacious, beautiful, tactful filmmaking.
Additional InformationLars Von Trier's MELANCHOLIA, a meditation on depression and the end of the world, stars Kirsten Dunst as an emotionally troubled newlywed named Justine, whose sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) throws her a lavish wedding party. While her lack of emotional stability begins to take a toll on Justine's new marriage as well as the party -- and old wounds are exposed -- Claire's wealthy husband John (Kiefer Sutherland) also knows a great deal about a planet that is on a possible collision course with Earth, further muddying the waters. The second half of the movie focuses on Claire, who ends up taking her sister in after the marriage collapses, and also begins to fear that John is hiding apocalyptically bad news. John Hurt and Charlotte Rampling co-star.

  • Sublime.

    The best Lars Von Trier film. Yes it's about depression and the end of the world but as it plays out I felt it to be quite a spiritual and uplifting experience. A lot of the visuals are like it all takes place within a De Chirico Painting. With the gorgeous Kirsten Dunst as the main character, what more could you want?

  • Slow build up climatic finish.

    The stories in the build up to the ending are very entertaining particularly Kirsten Dunst,the finale is both scary and amazing 10/10.
