Melancholia


This film has many similarities to Lars Von Trier's melancholia and was released at about the same time.

Does anyone know, was either film influenced by the other or did they just happen to develop simultaneously? Links to interviews with directors etc would be very helpful.

Melancholia is absolutely awful.

I got nothing out of watching Melancholia but disappointment. More to come after I see Another Earth.
Ok. This film has it all over Melancholia. It has a plot and believable acting.

No it isn't.

I don't love her.. She kicked me in the face!!

Melancholia is a masterpiece. This film is just another film. Not bad, not good, just forgettable.

I thought of Melancholia after about 15 minutes into Another Earth. Uncanny that they were completely independent of each other.

i also immediately thought of Melancholia while watching this movie, i must say i didn't enjoy either one of them very much

there is something missing in both films, i would say there are 2 important factors in a science fiction movie, the scientific elements and the human reaction to these elements

both these movies focus too much on the human elements for my taste



so many movies, so little time
