"Melancholia"

"Melancholia" probably is the most famous film of festival VOICES (of course, except classic films such as "A Sweet Life"). It has already managed to stir interest at the last Cannes festival. Though any work by Lars Von Trier, in principle, should be interesting to all movie-lovers.

Especially knowing that critics called "Melancholia" the most accessible film of the director - the film from which better to become acquainted with Von Trier’s works. There are no horrible bloody scenes (which were in the "Antichrist"), there are no innovations (such as replacement of scenery with painted buildings on walls in "Dogville"), starring real stars and even choosing a theme close to mainsream movies, it’s about the end of the earth . And with all this "Melancholia" is a good example of the creative method used by Lars von Trier and, of course, is a true masterpiece. This is a story about two sisters, enclosed in the same house. The whole film is based on dialogs.

The whole film is an expectation: firstly, of the wedding night, and then of the appearance of the planet Melancholia. And at least in the second case, the expectation is completed as it should be: on the final credits people were sitting as if they were shocked, unable to rise from their chairs. Among other things, "Melancholia" is a beautiful film, and it would be a real shame not to see it.
