Melancholia Trailer Buy Tickets. The reception has already gotten off on the wrong foot as the bride and groom arrive two hours late due to their ultra-stretch limo having trouble traversing the narrow winding road up to the house. Meanwhile, Claire is playing the role of the bossy and overbearing older sister and John is stressing out about how much money this cost him.
All this could be considered just relatively harmless family dysfunction were it not for the fact that something much more troubling is going on with Justine. She leaves the reception several times, wandering out to the golf course by herself and locking herself in the bathroom to sit in the tub to stare at the wall.
When she tucks in her nephew, Leo Cameron Spurr , for the night, she falls asleep next to him. However, there is a new development as well, to say the least: a planet which has been named Melancholia that had previously been hidden by the sun has revealed itself and, according to the doomsayers on the Internet, is on course to crash into the Earth.
John is convinced this is all a bunch of hooey, but Claire is visibly anxious โ and, thinking she may be living her last days, has become much more patient and affectionate toward Justine, who has become almost paralyzed with depression. Melancholia is a stunning piece of work. And, despite or perhaps because of its low-key approach to its extreme material, it makes for one of the most exciting and fascinating movie experiences of the year.
