Melancholia (2011) : Movie Plot Ending Explained Directed by Danish Film Maker, Lars von Trier, Melancholia is a Science Fiction that tells us a story through the perspective of two sisters while a mysterious planet is threatening to collide with Earth. It totally absorbs you and compels rumination about the deepest questions in life.

Melancholia has a deeper continuing resonance, for me, than any of his other films. Parts of the film that Von Trier considered a parody of superficial, upper middle-class life, actually, (as in the way Ingmar Bergman often used the same milieu,) open up many touchstones with everyone’s emotional experiences.
