Justine (Kirsten Dunst) iz von Trierovog remek-djela MELANCHOLIA je depresivna, kao što to bio i sam von Trier dok je snimao ovaj film, kako sam kaže. Von Trier dijeli film na dva dijela, gdje je svaki od dijelova nazvan po jednoj od sestara. U prvom dijelu mi posmatramo kako Justine ubrzano propada od blistajuće mladenke na prekrasnoj svadbenoj večeri do manijakalne noćne more za jedno veče (ona je zasluženo osvojila nagradu za najbolju žensku ulogu), dok Claire pokušava da održi kakav takav red u tom ludilu. U drugom dijelu, potpuno depresivna, skoro katatonična Justine dolazi kod Claire kako bi je ova njegovala, na Clairin posjed, mjesto otkazane svadbene proslave. Lars von Trier (the "von" was adopted during his stay at the Danish Film School) was born in Copenhagen, Denmark in April 1956. His BREAKING THE WAVES (1996), for which he won the Jury Prize at Cannes, was the director's first film (in a trilogy) that centered on the female sex. With DANCER IN THE DARK (2000), Lars von Trier made a melodrama about an east European woman, who sacrifices everything, literally, to save her son from getting the same eye-illness as she herself suffers from, and thereby going blind. Together with producer Peter Aalbak Jensen, Lars von Trier owns Zentropa Enterprizes, which produces Lars von Triers fims, as well as many others.
