IMDB
Kirsten Dunst is getting married, at her wedding, which her sister and brother-in-law pay for, she begins to have a breakdown and is very depressed. Soon she chases her new husband away. She heads back to stay with her sister and brother-in-law. They notice that the planet Melancholia seems to be getting closer and closer, while they try to deal with Kirsten Dunst’s terrible mood.
At first a was a resistant to this film, but as the second half unfolded and the film turned from a meandering drama to a sci-fi film, I was hooked. I would have been willing to watch it a second time immediately after it finished.
Kirsten Dunst’s performance in this film is excellent. She was robbed by not getting nominated for an Academy Award. Lars Von Trier does an excellent job with this film. Very good.
8/10
