melancholia

just finished watching MELANCHOLIA on-demand, rather than in the cinema. saved probably $20, considering tickets and popcorn and all...and this is definitely not a popcorn movie...ended up kind of loving it.



how would you approach the end of the world if 1) you weren't sure it was really going to happen, but you feared it might, or 2) if you knew it was going to happen, but didn't want to freak everyone out, or 3) if you were manic depressive, living with the most dysfunctional of families (and employer) who couldn't even help through your wedding?

(for number 3, i guess it's just another challenge to your limited coping mechanisms.)

i wish i'd seen this in the cinema, because it had some very striking visuals, and i suspect the sound and music (hinted at in the trailer, above) were gorgeous, in the right facility.

somewhat recommended. like THE TREE OF LIFE, this is one of those movies that you'll either (kind of) love, or detest.
