Just watched it and, like "Never Let Me Go" this is slipstream sf perfectly adapted for screen. And so utterly devestatingly sad.

If it's anything like as great as 'Antichrist' (or 'Never Let Me Go') it must be very fine indeed. Lars Von Trier seems to be at the peak of his powers these days, doesn't he?   Zed (Gary_mc) Username: Gary_mc Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.96.253.77 Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 - 02:57 pm:    Personally I think Dogville - a truly astonishing film - saw him at the peak of his powers, but his recent stuff has still been excellent.   Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.132.174.115 Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 - 03:20 pm:    Stevie - he didn't do Never Let Me Go. Melancholia, Kill List, and Tree of Life are all under £8 in the supermarkets.   Stevie Walsh (Stephenw) Username: Stephenw Registered: 03-2009 Posted From: 82.29.252.215 Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 - 03:44 pm:    I know, Tony, that's why I put it in brackets. It was Terry compared 'Melancholia' to 'Never Let Me Go' which, you may recall, won the Stevie Award for Best Sci-Fi Movie of 2011.   Tony (Tony) Username: Tony Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 81.132.174.115 Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 - 03:50 pm:    Ah right - sorry, didn't read the whole thread. Sorry Stevie!   Mbfg (Mbfg) Username: Mbfg Registered: 09-2010 Posted From: 82.6.90.110 Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 - 05:37 pm:    My fault then, Stevie this whole terrible argument, this massive uspet over who directed "Never let Me Go"... Terry   Stevie Walsh (Stephenw) Username: Stephenw Registered: 03-2009 Posted From: 82.29.252.215 Posted on Saturday, January 28, 2012 - 06:03 pm:    Yes, you should be jolly well ashamed of yourself, my man!   Simon Bestwick (Simon_b) Username: Simon_b Registered: 10-2008 Posted From: 86.24.166.73 Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 01:50 am:    Saw this over the weekend, along with ANTICHRIST- both, in their very different ways, stunning.   Huw (Huw) Username: Huw Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 220.138.167.50 Posted on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 - 05:03 am:    I seem to be the only one to be underwhelmed by Melancholia.   Matthew_fell (Matthew_fell) Username: Matthew_fell Registered: 03-2008 Posted From: 216.232.188.106 Posted on Friday, March 16, 2012 - 05:48 am:    No, Huw, you're not the only one who was underwhelmed. I thought there was some superb acting in it, but the movie itself did little for me. I could have spent a couple of hours more productively.
