Duration -
A wedding at a lavish manor stretches into a strange night, bordering on the surreal. But beyond this beautiful, carefully constructed world, something inevitable is approaching. A mysterious planet appears in the sky – Melancholia. Some say it will fly past, others start having doubts.
When the world everyone knows starts collapsing, on her wedding night the bride decides to finally start living.
“Melancholia” (2011) by the Danish grand auteur Lars von Trier is one of the most world-shattering works ever put to screen. In the film the director plays with disaster-movie clichés, Wagnerian motifs and family drama, while at the same time leading us deep into a continent of emotion where we sometimes feel like the only ones on this godforsaken earth.
