By With Melancholia, Lars von Trier is trying his hand at the age-old wonder-genre that is the disaster film. Of course, he’s doing it in the way that only Lars von Trier can: by making it more about the destruction of a family as they gather together for a marriage where the bride (Kirsten Dunst) is completely unhappy. All of this is amidst the growing dread following the discovery of an unknown planet, hidden behind the sun for millenia, that may be on a collision course with Earth.
The trailer is NSFW, as there’s some minor, quick nudity, so be on your guard.
