Epic in its ambition, Melancholia presents a clinically-depressed view on the end of the world. The director (via Skype introduction) sums it up best: "The whole film is on the edge of being kitsch and being unbearable, but please see it anyway." I am genuinely impressed at the extraordinary lengths he went to not to tie up any of the emotional and inter-character loose ends.
