Melancholia - Lars Von Trier

This film created a certain atmosphere, and contained some striking imagery. It was a refreshing change to have two female characters as the lead roles, and the camera close-ups created a sensual viewing experience. The fact the two women were physically as different as they could be and yet were supposed to be sisters, didn't distract from the believability. At times it felt pretentious though, and plodded along. Overall, a film worth seeing- Kim
