'Melancholia'
One of Lars von Trier's considerably less weird flicks (compared to others in his body of work), "Melancholia" is centered on two sisters: Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg). One sister, Justine, has just gotten married, as news of a rogue planet named Melancholia on a collision course with Earth hits the unsuspecting family as well as the rest of humanity. The film counts down the sisters' last moments as they grapple with a dysfunctional family, depression, and the pain of existence before Earth is reduced to cosmic space dust. Probably not a good first-date movie.
