@Dorothy Parker,
Quote:What a pile of silly crap...This film was so desperate to be strange and surreal but was just plain boring in reality.
You summed up how I felt both during and after watching Lars Von Trier's
Melancholia which I saw about a week ago. This one was about two sisters dealing with the impending destruction of the earth by a rogue planet named, of course, Melancholia. Overly pretentious, and often incoherent, and I am at a loss as to why some major critics praised this nonsense.
In an act of sheer masochism, I was determined to see it through to the end, and, when it was over, I felt both relieved and annoyed that I had wasted my time.
Unless you are a devoted fan of this director, I'd suggest people skip this one.
