Very well done and thought provoking. It doesn't sound like my kind of movie but I may catch it anyway.

Von Trier's previous film Antichrist was downright harrowing. It's like he is very depressed and he wants everyone else to be depressed too. I was a little wary of Melancholia knowing he directed that.

Hated both although they were visually arresting, especially Melencholia which was gorgeous. Peregrine Took Dec 2011 #4

I agree with you on the Melancholia being depressing... jimlup Dec 2011 #5
