Without doubt, Lars von Trier is one of the most important filmmakers of our time. Praised by some, hated by others, he creates films that provoke reactions on which opinions must be expressed.
With his Dogma 95 movement, the avalanche of European cinema started rolling again, even though he has since broken almost every one of his own rules, the example of Dogma 95 can be used to convey von Trier's artistic point of view.
'An artist must suffer'. This does not necessarily describe our reality when watching a film, but the reality of the filmmaker, the artist. Such confusion of the soon-to-be 2000s can be observed surgically in Von Trier's work. Even a handheld camera, donated by the room, looks absolutely exact.
Yet Melancholia is certainly his biggest and most ambitious film. Almost a complete exploration of his being. That's why I don't want to reveal too much about changing genres, about reinacted paintings, philosophical intricacies and the depression that lurks at the core of the earth.
But rather to encourage everyone, especially those who have not had any experience with Von Trier, to watch this film.
