``Melancholia'' A sweet apocalypse, like cream on top of cream.

two lonely souls

Originally, the lead role in this film was supposed to be played by Penelope Cruz, who had sent a passionate love request to Trier. However, due to conflicting schedules with `` Pirates of the Caribbean: The Fountain of Life '' (2011), he had to quit the project. Instead, Kirsten Dunst, who was popular as an idol in the Spider-Man series (2002-07), was chosen to play the role of Justin (Paul Thomas Anderson was said to have recommended her). .

"He [Trier] was really interested in me and wanted to talk to me tomorrow. We Skyped and it was really easy going and the atmosphere was nice. We didn't get to talk much about the script before we connected via Skype. We ended up hanging up, but we kept in touch over the phone after that. It seemed like it had been a while since he had worked as a director, so it was a very simple request: ``Please be in my movie.'' (* Four)

I feel that there is something fateful about her participation in this project. In fact, Kirsten Dunst also suffered from depression. He also entered a rehabilitation facility for treatment. Yes, ``Melancholia'' is a catastrophe created by two lonely souls who have been tormented by anxiety, working together in the form of the director and the lead actor.

Trier was kicked out of the venue, but Kirsten Dunst won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her impressive performance. With this work as an opportunity, she will step up to the next stage as an actor.

Since this work, no collaboration between the two has materialized. Trier approached Kirsten Dunst to star in The House That Jack Built (18), but she refused. Perhaps he was hesitant to appear in this film, which is marked by gruesome violence against women. However, the relationship between the two has never turned sour, and they even send e-mails on birthdays. Trier and Kirsten Dunst have the same birthday, April 30th.
