MELANCHOLIA
Synopsis
SURREALIST SATURDAYS
15th anniversary
*Best Actress Award for Kirsten Dunst, Cannes Film Festival 2011.
As a planet hurtles toward a collision course with Earth, two sisters (Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg) cope with the approaching doomsday in different ways.
PROGRAMMER’S NOTE: Lars von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA occupies a place between L’année Dernière À Marienbad and Solaris in the series, feeling like an homage to both. Its mise-en-scène, score, cinematography, and themes create a hypnotic, otherworldly experience, capped off with one of Kirsten Dunst's most visceral performances.
