8/10
Lars von Trier destroyed genders via grief in his last movie, now he's doing away with the world altogether, this time via depression. He has a remarkable knack for portraying those emotions (and for coaxing great performances out of women in particular), as well as cataclysmic endings. As far as Melancholia goes, I enjoyed part 1 a bit more than part 2 (where it dragged a bit) but it was definitely enjoyable, even if I wasn't personally emotionally invested like I wish I was.
