Melancholia
Kirsten Dunst, Alexander Skarsgård in a visionary classic
Cabin Fever Theater, PROVOKR’s new feature to combat boredom and isolation, presents… Melancholia.
Provocateur Lars von Trier is the visionary genius behind Melancholia, a gorgeous, dreamy drama in which Kirsten Dunst, as the ravishing but wary bride of Alexander Skarsgård, receives vivid premonitions of the end of the world, while her sister (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and brother-in-law (Kiefer Sutherland) try to keep the party going.
Melancholia received huge acclaim from critics on its initial release: “A movie that leaves the viewer in a state of ecstasy.”—Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly. “Amazingly romantic—lush, ripe, rich, delicious.”—Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times. “The luminous Kirsten Dunst deservedly won Best Actress at Cannes.”—Peter Travers, Rolling Stone.
