WHY OH WHY does anyone give Lars Von Trier money to make films like this??? MELANCHOLIA is the most pretentious piece of crud since Malick'sTREE OF LIFE, which was the previous most pretentious piece of crud for many a year !

Touching poetic movie that made me check the skies after watching it if there are any rogue planets planning to crash into earth.. Charlotte Gainsbourg was just a delight to watch, and of course Kirsten Dunst. Not for the faint hearted, but definitely a movie worth watching!
