Melancholia is a psychological disaster film from director Lars von Trier. In this beautiful tale about the end of the world, Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Michael (Alexander Skarsgård) are celebrating their marriage at a sumptuous party in the home of Justine’s sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and brother-in-law John (Kiefer Sutherland). Despite Claire’s best efforts, the wedding is a fiasco; as family tensions mount and relationships fray, a planet called Melancholia begins hurtling directly towards Earth.
