Lars von Trier's Melancholia

Lars von Trier, that great maestro of facetious event cinema, is back with another instrument of torture. It's a disaster movie A "beautiful film about the end of the world":
All rights reserved. I do not own this video, just cut the best part,
The best of the film - the brief opening act: a weird, hallucinatory montage of moonlit or Melancholia-lit images, which are an exposition of themes and distorted premonition of narrative.

there's a mawkish fascination and some flashes of real visual brilliance, especially in the mysterious series of dream-tableaux that begin the film.

I had no idea what to make of the sequence when I first saw it, but after finishing the film, I realized that it vaguely summarized everything about the film, both internally and in story. How excellently crafted.
