Melancholia

I watched Lars von Trier’s Melancholia last night.  I suppose it wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but I still enjoyed it.  I thought this image connected with the film a little bit.  Maybe facially the woman looks somewhat similar to Kirsten Dunst, but more so due to the planetary nature of it.  It is very beautiful.  I love all the detail, it works with the image and doesn’t distract from the woman’s face, but adds that nice astronomical feel.  While it doesn’t quite exude the-end-of-the-world, it does have a certain sadness and hopelessness to it.  I am quite captivated.
