Melancholia/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Sending lanterns with names and heartfelt notes floating into the night is done on Obon -- basically Buddhist Day Of The Dead.
    • A (formally) depressed director tells a story that features the end of the world, a giant object hitting the earth, and all the main characters have emotional/mental problems... where have I heard that before?
      • As if that weren't enough, an instrumental version of Fly Me To The Moon plays at one point during the wedding. Hm....
  • True Art Is Angsty: Well, it's Lars Von Trier, what did you expect?
