Melancholia

After watching the absolute nuke to the soul that was Dancer in the Dark I was a little apprehensive about this, and yeah rightfully so bc holy f* that was… see this is why I like art because it can explain feelings in ways that words can’t. Justine girl, I see you, I get you. After the first act I was thinking “I wish I saw this film earlier, it would’ve been beneficial to me when I was in the trenches of sophomore year of high school” However, this further reaffirms that stories meet you when the time is right because if 15 year old me watched the rest of the film the nihilism of it all would have done irreparable damage to my psyche
