The controversial filmmakers new film starring Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgård, Stellan Skarsgård and Udo Kier, will be completed in the spring and will most likely be at Cannes.
Todd from Twitch saw a promo for Melancholia this weekend in Berlin. He says,
In short, it is gorgeous – instantly recognizable as Von Trier’s work and very likely the most commercial iteration of his talent that we have seen yet. This in no way implies that he has dumbed things down, just that the wild transgressions of Antichrist are not present here – where they would be entirely inappropriate – and that the imagery is so beautiful that this is a film that you could clearly cut one hell of a trailer for…Though firmly grounded in reality there are a lot of special effects in this and they are integrated seamlessly, shots of static electricity arcing off skin and dead birds falling from the sky in super slow motion being particularly effective.
Say what you will about Von Trier, he can be hit and miss for me, but I really liked Anti-Christ and this movie is certainly on my most anticipated movies list for 2011.
