Danish director Lars von Trier's film Melancholia follows two sisters - Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg). Justine is getting married and celebrating at an ancient country estate when a red planet emerges behind the sun, heading on a direct collision course with Earth.

Trier is known for precisely calibrated tension, unexpected twists, and even more unexpected endings. Equally renowned is his demanding direction of actors - Kirsten Dunst, known from Spider-Man and Marie Antoinette, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who impressed both critics and audiences in Trier's previous film Antichrist.
