Lars Von Trier Latest Opus!
The Cinefamily – Los Angeles, CA
11/26 thru 11/19/11

Modern auteur, Lars Von Trier, releases Melancholia on Zentropa Films, rounding out his impressive oeuvre for the year.  In a sense, it seems that Trier allowed himself to be swept up with the zeitgeist of our generation and created one of many not-so-subtle reminders of the portentous Winter Solstice.  However among the various end-of-time films with their ear-splitting natural disasters or alien grotesquery coming to colonize our earth, Melancholia stands apart as a beautiful and lingering kiss goodbye to the world as we know it.  

The film stars Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg as contentious sisters groping for meaning in their relationship as a planet is set on a devastating collision course with Earth.  I highly recommend you check out the Cinefamily screenings:
