Debuting November 11 and getting a limited release is Lars von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA. The film looks like a haunting and quite engrossing experience, as much as I really want to see it, I am also kind of scared. Von Trier has always been an interesting and unique filmmaker, but I can’t help but think this may be his best yet.
Star Kirsten Dunst won Best Actress at Cannes, could this be her best role? I am glad she is making a comeback, she’s a great actress and this looks like the perfect way to do so. Check her out below in the new poster, this one might be the best one we’ve seen so far.
In this beautiful movie about the end of the world, Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Michael (Alexander Skarsgard) are celebrating their marriage at a sumptuous party in the home of her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg), and brother-in-law John (Kiefer Sutherland). Despite Claire’s best efforts, the wedding is a fiasco, with family tensions mounting and relationships fraying. Meanwhile, a planet called Melancholia is heading directly towards Earth… MELANCHOLIA is a psychological disaster film from director Lars von Trier.
Dunst stars along with Charlotte Gainsbourg, Alexander Skarsgård, Brady Corbet, Cameron Spurr, Charlotte Rampling, Jesper Christensen, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgård, Udo Kier and Kiefer Sutherland.
