Lars von Trier’s Melancholia: Beautiful but Boring
The world is about to end. Literally.
In the apocalyptic drama Melancholia, the latest movie from eccentric yet innovative filmmaker Lars von Trier, the lives of two sisters are turned upside down as a rogue planet threatens to destroy Earth. Beautiful, crisp and dreamlike, the movie is unlike any Lars von Trier movie seen before, but, unfortunately, unlike his other films, it’s surprisingly flat.
