\"Melancholia<\/a>
Melancholia poster featuring Kirsten Dunst<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Talent Management<\/a> just found out that the new Lars von Trier film ‘Melancholia’ earned 10 awards at the Danish Film Academy awards on Sunday. They included Best Film, Best Actress (Kirsten Dunst), Best Supporting Actress<\/a> (Charlotte Gainsbourg), Best Director and Best Script.<\/p>\n

The film is pitched as ‘A beautiful movie about the end of the world’ and it has proved popular with visitors to both the IMDb<\/a> and Rotten Tomatoes sites, earning a 7.4 and 7.3 rating respectively. The Telegraph’s Sukhdev Sandhu had this to say about it: \u201cMelancholia, like everything von Trier does, is an event. More than that, it\u2019s his finest film for nearly a decade. A crazily bold, visually enthralling, and emotionally seismic drama about the meaning of existence.
\n
\n\u201cFor all the accusations that he\u2019s a misogynist, von Trier is as brilliant, though less flattering, a director of women as Pedro Almodovar. His attention to the female face \u2014 and the rapture of suffering it can convey \u2014 is rivalled only by Carl Dreyer in The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928) and Mehboob Khan in Mother India (1957).\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite high praise received long before the event on Sunday – that may have hinted at the level of success that undeniably talented<\/a> Trier would achieve for this film – he declined to attend or even provide a statement. This is a situation that has endured since controversial comments got him into hot water at last year’s Cannes. A representative of his company \u2013 Zentropa Entertainments \u2013 said on his behalf: \u201cLars has nothing to say \u2013 or he has, but he won\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
