WINNER! Best Actress, Kirsten Dunst / 2011 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL

In this visually ravishing and emotionally charged film 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 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…

Beautiful, profound and spectacularly operatic, MELANCHOLIA is a unique psychological disaster film from highly acclaimed (and highly controversial) director Lars von Trier (Antichrist, Dancer in the Dark).
