Melancholia An intense watch that offers a brutally nihilistic story of a man down on his luck. Gaspar Noe's debut film. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/29/22 Full Review National T First viewing I really disliked the way it didn't flinch from abhorrent crimes and I deleted it. Yet this haunted me and I had to return for the same reason. What makes a person barbaric? Well, this film will tell you, somewhat, but it will not offer hope or solution, which should make you angry. Not angry with the movie, however, which is stylistically brilliant and effective, angry with that truth of no hope or solution. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/09/22 Full Review william d I usually don't like narration in movies. I think it detracts from - and often ruins - the story. The fact that I like this movie so much is a testament to Noe's excellent script since it is pretty much narrated from beginning to end (as is the fact that the main character is wholly unsympathetic). Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review stella m What a waste of my time as it started out okay, but I began to get lost with lagging subtitles. After the first 30 minutes, it went downhill with no action - just mental dialog! I sorta tuned out and hurried through it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member "one of the most disturbing films"? more like one of the most depressing films. it's on the wrong list & was quite boring on top of it. i've tried some Gaspar Noe films in the past & i keep giving him more chances to surprise me, but i'm just not a fan apparently. the only thing interesting about this one is the sharp camera work, which i did enjoy. the narration just doesn't do it for me i guess - i wasn't attached to the characters or the story - so it didn't really make me feel anything besides saying "good grief" to myself a couple times. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A classic Noe movie... Cinematographically sustaining and dialogues are engrossing. If you're alike Noe's style you'll enjoy this movie too. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
