Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Michael (Alexander Skarsgård) are celebrating their marriage at a sumptuous party in the home of her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and brother-in-law John (Kiefer Sutherland). Despite Claire's best efforts, the wedding is a fiasco, with family tensions mounting and relationships fraying.
Meanwhile, a planet called Melancholia is heading directly towards Earth...
watching the first 30 minutes was painfully slow and depressing. thank god for the hotness of alexander skarsgard!
only a great film like this can garnish reviews from two opposite sides of the spectrum, which makes it a brilliant film..
its obviously only appealing to a specific type of mind.
its not for everyone.. which makes me conclude that in mankind .. there are retards and thinkers.
