Kirsten Dunst representing depression and not being bothered by the upcoming end of the world? relatable. Charlotte Gainsbourg representing anxiety and freaking out because of the upcoming end of the world? also relatable.
AnnaApr 20, 2015Von Trier apparently got the idea for this film while battling depression and he definitely nails that feeling with the character of Justine. During the first half of the film, the wedding, her own wedding, the happiest day of their lives for most people, she forces out…

The fact that Justine smiled all throughout her wedding night (1 hour of cinematic runtime) but smiled her only REAL smile with a little boy asking about magic caves (2 seconds of cinematic runtime) tells you more about depression and unhappiness in general than the most…

i think someone should tell the cameraworker that they were filming a movie not an episode of the office
☆ maria ☆Sep 5, 2016I would like to hold hands with kirsten dunst as the world ends.

I fell asleep and don’t think I’ll ever have the patience to finish or rewatch it. Definitely not Trier’s most exciting film.
Rating: 7.5/10 Melancholia is a breathtakingly beautiful and profoundly moving film that explores depression through the lens of an impending apocalypse. With a career-best performance from Kirsten Dunst, this art-house masterpiece is both terrifying and insightful, making it a must-see for fans…
I mean the part of this movie most people are looking forward to seeing happens about 5-10 minutes into the film, everything else is a slow burn showing the digression of the characters leading up to the intro For some reason they decided to add The Office style’d camera work which can be a bit…

☆ ☆ ☆ Melancholia is a very visually stunning, but incredibly slow film. It was slow to the point I almost dnf’ed it, but I’m glad I didn’t. The combination of the beautiful melancholic lighting and colour palette, the interesting framing, and handheld camera movements gave an extra edge to the…
Even though I agree with saying it’s a slow movie, I’d say its slowness is peculiar; not boring nor useless, everything that happens really creates the atmosphere and shapes the characters. Justine’s mental health is described in an elegant but clear way so it all makes sense.
This seems like a me movie. Something I’d love. I loved parts of it, but overall, didn’t stick the landing for me. Still great tho, with intense and gripping visuals, and showcases the power a single image can have on an audience. Once again: Gripping, through and through.

It’s too long and too slow for the plot’s story telling about “Melancholia” stuff, it’s hard to stay still to watch and I get confused and boring. The most points here is why the camerawork like show “The Office”, just why? It’s totally destroy the cinematic elements.
This movie deals with mental health for 2 hours, basically. Part 1 depicts my worst nightmare and it works on a subtle but undeniable sense of helpless discomfort🫥 Additionally, there is something unexpected to deal with and you are like: what else?!?!?!
