Dunst and Gainsbourg play sisters whose lives are drifting apart as the universe spectacularly unravels in what Von Trier describes as a beautiful movie about the end of the world.
It’s been a beautifully slow news day, which is all fine and dandy — other than it makes me feel like we don’t have anything fun for you guys to read about during your final hours of a long work weel. We’ll fix that right now…
My buddy Aaron just sent me over a short film I completely forgot about that’s perfect for Bloody Disgusting, and makes a bold statement about disrupting other patrons in a theater (I’m looking at you!)
The above short film was helmed by none other than Lars von Trier, the self-proclaimed greatest director in the world who’s most recent works include the masterpieces Antichrist and Melancholia. The 3-minute long short, entitled “Occupations,” was directed in 2007 as part of Chacun Son Cinéma (To Each His Own Cinema) collective film of 33 shorts directed by different directors about their feeling about Cinema.
It’s not a good idea to interrupt a man who is watching a movie in cinema. Especially if that person is Lars von Trier…. READ MORE

I begin to doubt myself every single time I post an article highlighting Lars von Trier’s Melancholia. Sure, it’s about the end of the world, but it looks more like a drama than something for genre fans. Having just caught a screening of the film, I can assure you that, while a drama on the surface, Melancholia is a deeply disturbing film that will rock your very core.

“This Earth is evil, we don’t need to grieve for it… nobody will miss it.”
The first clip from Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia has found its way online and has proven why we should be covering this “end of the world drama.” The above quote comes out of star Kirsten Dunst’s mouth as she explains her feelings towards the impending end of the world to co-star Charlotte Gainsbourg.
You’ll also find a new red band TV Spot inside.

Before the official website crashed, the first poster and images were put on display for Lars von Trier’s Melancholia, an end of the world drama starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgaard, Stellan Skarsgard, Udo Kier, and John Hurt.
While the apocalyptic tale is being pegged as a drama, Von Trier is always extremely cryptic about his features that always seem to delve deep into the dark psyche.

The end of the world is coming, courtesy of Danish director Lars Von Trier.
The official website was launched for Von Trier’s Melancholia that confirms the plot, an unknown planet hidden behind the sun has come out of hiding and is about to hit the Earth.
Starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgaard, Stellan Skarsgard, Udo Kier, and John Hurt, Magnolia Pictures has already acquired domestic distro rights for the pic described as “A beautiful movie about the end of the world.” With Von Trier, it’s unknown if he’s being ironic, although the footage is nothing short of spectacular.
One criticism: at the end of the footage, it looks more like the planet is passing rather than about to actually hit Earth. Not sure if that’s intentional, but they may want to rework that FX in my opinion….

There’s been so much news I completely forgot about Lars Von Trier’s end of the world genre drama Melancholia!
It was announced that Magnolia Pictures has picked up the North American distribution rights to the film featuring the all-star cast Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, Alexander Skarsgaard, Stellan Skarsgard, Udo Kier, and John Hurt.
First official plot details were revealed as Dunst and Gainsbourg play sisters whose lives are drifting apart as the universe spectacularly unravels in what Von Trier describes as “a beautiful movie about the end of the world.” I’d say this gives the title a slightly ironic appeal?
Obviously, this could end up being a film very not worthy of Bloody Disgusting’s coverage, but we’ll play it out until we see some images and a trailer.

While Danish director Lars von Trier’s films dwell outside the mainstream realm, the topics he explores are as commonplace as they come. It’s his stance on these matters that challenges the viewer, causing them to see things from a viewpoint that is both so ugly and far removed from traditional thinking that it becomes almost as alien as it is difficult to comprehend. Antichrist, the autuer’s latest, follows this formula closely, yet also has the distinction of overloading those who dare watch the now infamous film – you’ve seen worse, trust me – with so many gloomy viewpoints and surreal images that the film could, and has, appeared to some as being about nothing. In a way, it is; the state of despair and madness that She (Charlotte Gainsbourg) exists in is so deep that her depression is nothingness, an emotional state where the darkness is so consuming that nobody can relate to where she is mentally or physically.
