MELANCHOLIA Trailer From Director Lars von Trier

Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg play sisters whose lives are drifting apart as the universe spectacularly unravels in what Lars von Trier describes as “A beautiful movie about the end of the world,” in this first trailer for MELANCHOLIA.

In March, the Wagner/Cuban Company’s Magnolia Pictures announced that they had pre-bought North American rights to MELANCHOLIA, the eagerly awaited new film from legendary filmmaker and provocateur Lars Von Trier. According to Cineuropa, the film will show at the 64th Cannes Film Festival (May 11-22, 2011).

Boasting a stellar ensemble cast, including Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Kiefer Sutherland, Charlotte Rampling, John Hurt, Alexander Skarsgard, Stellan Skarsgard and Udo Kier, the film will be completed later this spring and is among the most highly anticipated films of 2011. The Danish release is May 26th 2011.
