Melancholia

I finally got to see Melancholia.  Starting to think it might be having an effect on me vis
i. listening to Wagner all the time
ii. getting a bob*
iii. staying in bed for 48 hours at a time



There was an embarrassment of amazing actors - Charlotte Rampling and Stellan Skarsgard, 2 of my all time favourites, were kind of wasted in annoying, pointless 'turns'. Ramples especially, she's such a hero of mine, but I'm struggling to remember why. Only John Hurt and Udo Kier (I cheered every time he came on) seemed to know what was expected of them - drift in and out amusingly as counterpoint to the sisters.


Otherwise, apart from ASkars looking incredibly, dopily buff, it was just Kirsten and Charlotte, who's growing on me despite her chest bones being the stuff of nightmares.



*i really really didn't get a bob after watching this, i'm joking. I did try and do a copycat pic for lulz, with the electricity but it was too lame
