Melancholia. I don't think I've seen a movie that depicts depression and disaster so brutally. It's a film I keep thinking about every now and again.

Oh man, totally. The feeling of impending doom that's always in the background stalking even the happy moments.

Depression runs in our family and the portrayal of it was phenomenal, especially when they measure the size of the moon. From outer perspective they are told all will be fine but they aren't convinced and in the end it seems all the doom and gloom was justified - just how a depressive mind naturally is pulled towards the negative and creates self fulfilling prophecies.

Deep deep film.
