The "you're invited" feel for Lars von Trier's Melancholia is a stroke of pure genius. How can you refuse watching Kiki Dunst, la Gainsbourg and others suffer as the end of the world approaches? How?

All About Me.
- Jose Solís
- I like:Spending Sunday nights watching movies that make me cry. Sleeping like a rock.The sound of rain on my rooftop.Being the smartest person in the room.Cleaning my apartment until everything smells fresh.Pretending my life is a big, flashy, Technicolor musical.Dancing until every muscle in my body hurts.Coming up with weird dishes to cook.Pretending not to enjoy reggaeton.Playing with my tongue piercing.Hanging out with the few people I really love.Believing that I'll find my mission in life.Entering a theater only to realize I'm the only person there. Obsessing about one particular song and listening it too many times in a row.The feeling I get after I've written something good.Watching a great film and knowing it once I exit the cinema.

I could have done that poster in MS Paint in 2 minutes top ah ;)
The green element is probably the most striking thing.
Haha that's not the point Castor...
It's the execution of the concept that counts.
Andrew: yes! I love that image, it's like that Ophelia painting but creepier.
It's such a great image. Only Lars von Trier can make the worst of human misery look so beautiful and inviting.
I WANT IT NOW. Simple but perfect. My excitement cannot be contained.
very striking...i cant wait to see this
Looks good. And, excitingly, 'Melancholia' hadn't even hit my radar yet. The film title and poster made me think... wouldn't it be lovely if Lars von Trier and Darren Aronofsky got together on the same project? I honestly think it would work...
