Here is a new international trailer for Lars von Trier’s Melancholia, and an older trailer from a few months ago I just found as well. In the sci-fi/psychological drama another planet that is going to collide with the Earth, but at the same time it also revolves around a wedding and the lives and relationships of certain people. It stars Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Alexander Skarsgard, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Stellan Skarsgard and Udo Kier.
If anything, a Lars von Trier movie will surprise you (Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, Antichrist), so I do look forward to seeing Melancholia even if it does seem more mainstream than his previous works. The film premiered in May 2011 at the 64th Cannes Film Festival where Kirsten Dunst received the Cannes Film Festival’s Best Actress Award for her performance.
Here’s the press release, which includes a synopsis and the two trailers:
The trailer for Lars von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA is launched online today and available to view at www.melancholiathemovie.com .
