'Meloncholia' Named Top Movie of 2011 from Movie Line

1. Melancholia

The opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference, and in Lars von Trier’s film it’s the awesome force of Kirsten Dunst’s depression-fueled disinterest that exudes a gravitational drag on everyone around here even before the arrival of the destructive planet of the title. Before the breathtaking apocalyptic imagery appears — the object looming closer in the sky, the static sparking from fingertips — Melancholia is already a devastating look at an illness that leaves you unable to connect to what life has to offer, even on an extravagant wedding day that seems to compress half a lifetime into a night. But it’s that the film turns to offer a sympathetic eye to Charlotte Gainsbourg’s anxious sibling in the second half that makes it great, and that gives it a soul. As she struggles to hold everything together in the face of approaching disaster, even Dunst’s depressive is moved to offer her a conciliatory gesture as the world ends.

Review of Meloncholia From The Wall Street Journal

 

A few days ago a mountain-size asteroid came close to Earth, then zipped safely past it. The threat is more substantial in this hauntingly beautiful drama by the Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier. On one level the title refers to the planet Melancholia, a vast and mysterious orb that may or may not hit us and put an end to terrestrial life. But "Melancholia," which stars Kirsten Dunst, isn't really concerned with astronomy, or what happens when worlds collide, even though the literal drama of an impending apocalypse is evoked with an extraordinary mixture of gravity and grave playfulness. Its true subject is melancholia as a spiritual state, a destroyer of happiness that emerges from its hiding place behind the sun, just like the menacing planet, then holds the heroine, Justine, in its unyielding grip and gives Ms. Dunst the unlikely occasion for a dazzling performance.
