Melancholia from Zentropa on Vimeo .
As the "enfant terrible" who knows she is beautiful and shiny and therefore can do whatever you want, Lars Von Trier may traslimitar any type of film convention and take risks to bring his ship over the cliff of the end the world.
After Antichrist, a film that for many it was a joke, a troll pretentious (public masturbation), but for others, like us, was one of the biggest films of the new millennium (read the review of Antichrist "... beyond Tarkovsky directing The Blair Witch") Von Trier is back with another film that will surely give much to speak for your formal affair, and in this case, because of its subject. Melancholia from Zentropa on Vimeo. Since Antichrist is clearly the theme of Revelation, in the final scene of the supernatural William Defoe follow until it reaches the top of a hill where it could represent the Lamb of Revelation that hosts hundreds of people who climb the mountain.
Of course, the Antichrist appears in the book of Revelation of St. John, sometimes called the Book of Revelation. Melancholia, which will premiere next month at the Cannes Film Festival, is described by its producers as "a beautiful film about the end of the world." The plot seems to happen at a wedding in a sumptuous house in the country which is crossed by a cosmic event that arouses all kinds of weather and psychological: the arrival of a red planet whose orbit had been hidden by the sun and could crash with Earth. It is, no doubt, a version of the conspiracy theory based on the work of Zecharia Sitchin, the hidden planet Nibiru, Planet X or the planet Marduk, which is supposed to come in contact with the Earth about 2012, herald the return of Annunaki gods. The film is called Melancholia Nibiru (the melancholy was the humor of the alchemists, usually associated with Saturn) and appears to tare a series of supernatural phenomena but mostly a series of psychological reactions.
Melancholia Von Trier describes as "a psychological disaster movie." And this is just what we need after the Hollywood blockbuster (as 2012, The Knowing, The Day After Tomorrow): play this unavoidable issue in the collective psyche of the planet but with some sensitivity, with a penetrating look at what would happen to us humanely. In this case the characters of Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg appear suffer from this encounter with cosmic forces in the modulations of their souls (because we are mirrors of the universe), struggling to accept what happens and wrapped in their own existential plots that intertwine with the planetary destiny. Lars Von Trier is quite provocative and could easily deceive us to be the trailer, and maybe the film is completely different kind, but at times we see flashes playful aesthetic (with greater dramatic depth) pop apocalyptic visions of Richard Kelley (Donnie Darko, Southland Tales). The same casting, to include mainstream Hollywood actors with European actors of another cut, perhaps a clue that will explode fireworks Von Trier of metagénero and disordered rodeos, taking the viewer through impassable areas on the roller coaster of cinema. Kirsten Dunst (who appears naked as a bonus, like a deer in the bsoque, in an echo ghost Antichrist), on the trailer, seems to get supernatuarles electromagnetic power at some point and a bizarre rain of feathers and dust falls from the sky to green hills.
The perpetual tease Lars Von Trier says that this is the first of his films which has no happy ending, in a puzzling statement difficult to interpret until you see the movie. Beyond all the speculation, there is no way to see who might be "the best cowboy" who has the world cinema, addressing the great themes of our day, perhaps, with his eyes, redefine and transform it. Eyes that light up the end of the world. Von Trier had said, in another controversial comments about his previous film, he was the Antichrist (and his personality spills into the tape while being universal), maybe now you see it in his new movie he is the Apocalypse. The Apocalypse of Lars Von Trier, there's the unforgettable film of 2011
