"Melancholia" amazingly different new film. End of the world preceded by wedding

Just saw it and I am STILL thking about it.

VERY different kind of "Art House" movie but I reallly liked it though it was riveting, scary and made me think.

Great spot-on perfermormance by Karen Dunst.

I would definately recommend seeing it. Well worth viewing * IF *you are open to different and entertaining but thought provoking films and can withstand stand some possible discomfort.

Here is one review.

Melancholia, the latest provocation from the not-so-socially-gifted Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier, is an immense motion picture. Or, perhaps, a picture of immensity would be just an appropriate descriptor, as the film is as much a work of staggering emotional lacerations, coming one after the other, as it is a document of tremendous directorial agenda. What begins as a volcanic wedding reception on an estate that seems to span the length of a small continent ends with nothing less than the final great collision of Earth and the titular alien planet, and the end of life as we know it.
