Unless you're a real masochist, Lars von Trier movies are not meant to be viewed twice. Melancholia is horribly depressing, but somehow less depressing than LvT's Dancer in the Dark (and, unfortunately, also less depressing than the behind-the-scenes of Dancer in the Dark. The highlight is absolutely Kirsten Dunst, who gives what is pretty close to a career-high performance in one of the most brilliant portrayals of depression I've seen in film. That said, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about the way the film works in Justine's sudden complete instantaenous recovery from her depression and sudden clairvoyance, but overall it's an excellent film that has perhaps one of my all-time favorite endings.
9/10
need to catch up on: Pi Big Fish Barry Lyndon
and I think that's it unless I'm forgetting something
