Melancholia (DVD)

Lars von Trier directs this sci-fi drama about the effects of depression on two sisters, Justine and Claire.

Played out in two acts, the film opens with the wedding of Justine and Michael: a sumptuous affair paid for by Claire and her husband John. However, when Justine notices a strange star in the sky, she starts behaving oddly and the wedding is ruined.

The film's second act follows Justine, now extremely weak and ill, after she goes to live with her sister. As Claire and John struggle to deal with Justine's condition, astronomy buff Claire becomes increasingly concerned about a large blue planet that is threatening to collide with the earth.
