Divided into 2 segments, each told from the perspective of sisters Justine (Nina Persson lookalike Kirsten Dunst) and Claire (the always sincere and watchable Charlotte Gainsbourg).
The first part charts the disintegration of Justine's nuptial celebrations. The second meanwhile deals with the run-up to a one-off cosmic event: the appearance of stray planet Melancholia.
The cinematography is strong throughout and in places inventive and beautiful. Can't say I've ever been a fan of Lars Von Trier, but have always been a doom lover.
One of the year's better movies.
