  • I think it's a metaphor for the end of an era, end of life style and the fear of a new, unknown world in which we drowning. Someone looks at it with fear, someon do not want to experience it, someone is hiding in the final moments of the known, someone expects it closed eyes because every end brings a new beginning. However, the new era is out there....

  • Manito Arriba Si Estas Aqui Por Calle 13!

  • WONDERFUL AND BREATH TAKING MOVIE

  • This is by far Kirsten Dunst's best work. She really makes you feel the absurdity of our cherished roles and rituals in social life. In the face of the apocalypse, she seems a stoic nihilist. But beneath the surface, I would argue she epitomizes the feminine. This is revealed in two scenes: first when she's lying naked on the riverbank, a reference to the classical parallel between sex and death.  Second, in her final act when she comforts her nephew, thus valuing innocence over "strength".

  • @Andreas0424 I should qualify my characterization of her as the epitome of the feminine by saying that she is also severely depressed and bent on self-sabotage, which are not qualities I associate with femininity. Also, while she does value innocence, the inevitable loss of innocence innate to life leads her to the conclusion "the Earth is evil" and thus welcomes its destruction.

  • @Andreas0424

    Absolutely true. I totally agree, 100%.

  • i didn't like Antichrist at all but this one looks like it might be quite good, especially if its got some Wagner music in it.

  • @zilchnilton That is all that blasts the entire time: Tristan & Isolde.

  • Best movie of the year by National Film Critics! All we need now is the Academy Award! That will really destroy alot of people's worlds!

  • I was out of breath after finishing this movie...

  • For me, the best movie of 2011... I think it was overwhelmin for my father.... every night he looks at the stars trying to find that blessed planet... (Para mi, la mejor película del 2011... creo que para mi viejo fue sobrecogedora... todas las noches mira a las estrellas tratando de encontrar ese bendito planeta. )

  • Part of this film's subversive brilliance is that our heroine becomes a fundamentalist. She "knows" there is no other life in the universe except that which is soon to be obliterated on earth, and that "life on earth is evil," as she says. No one but a fanatic or a visionary on the precipice of the end of everything (or a Danish fim director) would claim that knowledge.

  • One sister afraid of life and one sister afraid of death. What else can I really say really?

  • @WizardHaat Is our heroine afraid of life? I didn't see it that way originally but it's an interesting pov. I just thought she was longing to clean up the universe of the "evil" of life on earth, as she refers to it. She does become a fundamentalist, so perhaps fear of life is a precondition of that. Or she is a visionary heralding the end of the world like the angel of death. In any case, I saw it last week and I'm seeing it again this week.

  • @billjomes There wasn't anything to be saved, therefore there could not be any heroine (Even though I know you meant protagonist of the first act, forgive me for assuming) Listen to the part where she talks about the Magic Cave. See how captivated her weaker sister is of her even though she's the one always taking care of her. Bringing her to baths, washing her. The moment that solidified this for me is when Kirsten Dunst started looking into the snow, and her sister looked at her, as if saying,

  • @WizardHaat Final post. The last part where the Charlotte Gainsbourg says she wanted to listen to Beethoven's 9th and drink wine as her last moments on Earth, and Kirsten Dunst says thats a shitty plan lol, it was obvious she was trying to live someone else's life in her last moments, life of the rich and famous and stuff, never venturing out of her perfect shell. Thats what made the ending so climatic

  • @billjomes I wish I could look at what she was looking at when really she was saying I wish I had her eyes so I wouldn't look at this cold and desolate world. Looking at the force of the cold and finding something beautiful in it. One sister afraid of life, one sister afraid of death. It was beautifully played dividing the movie into two like that. Kirsten Durst wants to get in but hates everything about 'in', her sister wants to get out but is afraid of everything 'out'. Beautiful really

  • It's my party, but I won't cry! It's my funeral, but I won't die. Best to watch this movie with one thumb in your asshole.

  • tan triste como intenso y desolador, q buen soundtrack!!

  • Im just back from movie theater. it.. was ... AMAZING! im speechless.

  • epic soundtrack always is epic.

  • I don't get how this movie terrified anyone. The science was insanely up surd,

    I did however like the idea that the rationalist in the end was too cowardly to stick around for the end of the world and his petrified wife stuck it out.

  • @Buzz0Killington it's having a dig at science, science is theory in the end.

  • @Buzz0Killington I think your spelling is 'up surd'.

  • @keesvdijkhuizen I think you're a fucking ass hole! Those words spelled correctly? 

  • Saw it yesterday. Magnificent. Sad. Sublime. Everyone is great. Von Trier is a gift to filmmaking.

  • эта музыка на самом деле говорит со мною

    так прекрасно

  • the ending of this movie is... omg so terrifying. I loved it.

  • 5 people ... oh no, never mind, no dislikes for this masterpiece

  • the photography and art is beyond dount its truely masterfull

  • its a good and bad film at the same time it has brilliance and at times slight boredom but good overall a 7/10 from me

  • i have this shit on REPEAT. awesome movie

  • Best Trier ever...

  • i loved watching this movie got up at 9 in the morning put the curtians down switched on my surround and staretd watching this :D

  • Listen to this and then listen to Franz Schubert - Ave Maria.

  • this movie was great but left you wondering and with more questions then answers. Its a great conversation piece

  • thanks to Mr Von Trier I discovered such a masterpiece by Wagner

  • I'm pretty sure this is at first the theme song of Vertigo. I enjoyed the movie, but you DO NOT steal from Hitchcock !

  • @TheBombson It's the other way around, actually.  Herrman, who wrote the theme music for Vertigo, got it from Wagner's Tristan and Isolde (of which this piece is the prelude), who predates Vertigo by, oh, a hundred years. Good ear, though.

  • @DollsPolyphony Yes I know for Wagner,but still,you do not steal from Hitchcock,even if he stole it first :D

  • I watched this movie and thought it was very good, powerful, haunting soundtrack.

  • How possible cannot be depress, if you know that you will die and everything you live for too. Thats is the hole point it shows the frivolity in which we live and our priorities, when really we are insignificant in the universe. Deep

  • Amazing...

  • life in the shadow of death.

    a spectacular end to such ordinary people with boring, almost useless lifes.

    beautiful melancholic pictures show the depression for which we have no words.

    magic movie. :)

  • makes you realize how much of a speck you are under an elephants foot :/ 8(

  • so f*cking disturbing.

  • Great piece of melancholic music!

    Superb!

  • Melacholia was depressing. Keifer Sutherland killing himself was a coward's way out. He left his wife and son to die like that.

  • @AConservativeVictory It was a fake. Even a planet cannot stop Jack Bauer.

  • I think the world is coming to an end too, sometimes I wish it would.

  • amazing movie, was a beautiful illustration of characters, stories, and depth - woven in perfect balance.

  • goddamn this song is bringing me back to the most intense parts of the movie... too beautiful

  • found it! malangfree.web.id/08082011/mel­ancholia-soundtrack-by-richard­-wagner-city-of-prague-philhar­monic-orchestra.php

  • can anyone tell me where i can find the soundtrack online available to download? amazing movie, definitly one of the best ive ever seen

  • hey this film is strange, weird but stunning!

  • This film was absolutely stunning.

  • full of depression...

  • That last 10 minutes. Incredible. Simply, incredible.

  • @MegaFilmFanatic as incredible as the first 10 min

  • I found the movie overrated and with no clear story...maybe you need to suffer from or have suffered from depression to understand it. I rather go to a real Tristan & Isolde, which always makes me shiver.

  • @Loretta2004 I think you have a point here, I love the movie (and are familiar with depression) but a real Tristan & Isolde seems way overblown to me (I never tried but I know people who did) and I think the music will just do for a soundtrack, oh well, to each his/ her own.

  • perfect movie..perfect music...perfect photos...

  • first part of the film I was sitting in a summer theatre in Greece(meaning it was outdoors) and all I did was look at the sky as I was bored to tears...second part however, tears almost came for another reason....

  • I never cry, but Melancholia made me cry.

    Never say never.

  • IM SO EXCITED HAS IT COME OUT YET?

  • @golding56 Yep !

  • @overwelmingodds i would if i could man....its not out in northamerica for another couple of months :(

  • 7:18 in the theather, i was like: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!

  • Wagner seems to be still a great success...

  • В нашу разлагающуюся эпоху тухлого постмодерна и бездарных заимствований, в среде уничтоженных истин и обосранных идолов, как глоток воздуха воспринимается простой и понятный мессидж - в твоей жизни слишком много стало ненастоящего, пустых погремушек на кистях купленного в кредит гроба, и навыки выживания и преумножения с точки зрения вечности стоят не дороже промышленных сбросов от китайского завода по производству левого луивитона. Настоящее не меняется на протяжении Истории, Justine рулит
