Melancholia was PAINFUL to sit through. Horrible characters, pretty much zero storyline, not interesting in the least, etc etc. I think the director muct have had beastiality sex tapes offered up as blackmail of Kiefer Sutherland and Alexander Skarsgaard because their talent and acting skills had no place in that piece of shit. Beautiful movie, yes, the way it's shot, yes, but big deal? Please, someone, anyone, tell me what was so "great" about this movie.
