REVIEW: Lars von Trier’s Melancholia Offers a Glorious Peep into the Sugar Easter Egg of Doom

Lars von Trier’s Melancholia is neither the provocation nor the yowl of anguish that his last picture, Antichrist , was. For those reasons, it’s less effective and also far less of a workout: Antichrist was the first von Trier movie I genuinely loved, after a decade’s worth of railing against the sufferdome atmosphere of pictures like Dogville , Dancer in the Dark , and even the mildly bearable Breaking the Waves . Antichrist stunned and upset me, but it also filled me with compassion toward the man who made it, a feeling I’d never imagined I could have. The gift of Antichrist — with its horrific depictions of emotional suffering, its wailing-wind subtext of “Nature is everywhere, inside you and outside, and it is not your friend” — was that von Trier had surprised me. That is a critic’s greatest pleasure — or at least it’s mine.

Oscar Predictions: Even Harvey Weinstein Is a Sucker For George Clooney

“I love George Clooney’s movie, The Ides of March ,” Harvey Weinstein raved recently when asked for an Academy Award prediction. “I love politics, and this movie is the best political movie — it’s gotta be right up there with the best of the best. Seriously, it is the toughest, most incisive, no-bullshit movie I’ve seen this year. And [Ryan] Gosling hits it out of the ballpark. And the entire cast is great. Clooney just nailed it. It’s an appropriate movie for these times. So Oscar prediction? That that gets nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. And it’s not mine.” [ Vulture ]

Do Lars Von Trier’s Nazi Comments Deserve Indefinite Self-Imposed Silence — or Worse?

Well, now: Lars Von Trier ‘s notorious Nazi comments last May have haunted him all the way home to Denmark, where he says local cops questioned him in connection to charges leveled at him by French officials, post-Cannes. In a statement released today, the Melancholia director issued a promise of his own following the media and legal shit storm caused by his ill-conceived joking, announcing that he’ll no longer speak publicly or to press. At all .

Mr. Skin CONFIRMS Upcoming Full-Frontal Nudes from Emily Browning and Kirsten Dunst [PIC]

Great news (and nudes), skin fans! We’ve been reporting on Sleeping Beauty and Melancholia since both films debuted at Cannes in May, but we haven’t been able to provide any details- until now! Sleeping Beauty doesn’t have an American release date scheduled yet, though it is currently playing in Russia (we know, it’s weird) and hits UK theaters October 14. But screener copies have been sent out, and while we can’t show you the goods (yet), we’re beyond excited to report that Emily Browning DOES make her nude debut in this picture, and what a nude debut it is! Emily strips completely nude for multiple scenes of nude snoozing, baring her sleeping boobies, creamy white seat meat, and little red mustache (yes, the carpet matches the drapes)! (Pictures from Sleeping Beauty have now made their way online-get a sneak peek of the uncensored nudes at Egotastic ! ) More after the jump!

Stephanie Zacharek’s 5 Most Anticipated Fall Movies of 2011

The fall movie season is something of a palate cleanser, a way of switching gears after the last summer blockbuster has come and gone, and also a chance to catch a breath before the big holiday movies, with all their hype, start rolling out. Here are the five fall pictures I’m most excited about — some of them I’ve already seen, so I know they’re great. Others are just too… weird to ignore.

Kirsten Dunst on Her Nude Scenes in Melancholia: "Yes, I Do Have Big Boobs"

Danish director Lars von Trier is known for being an, ahem, rather unpleasant man- he refuses to fly, he psychologically tortures his leading ladies ( Nicole Kidman famously once asked him why he hates women), and recently he was banned from the Cannes Film Festival for saying he “understood” Hitler. But you gotta give the man one thing- he finally got Kirsten Dunst to bare her Kirsten cunst. We reported earlier this year that Dunst makes her full-frontal debut in Von Trier’s latest gloom-and-doom masterpiece, Melancholia – you can even catch a faraway glimpse of her totally nude and lying on a rock in the film’s trailer (seen at left). In advance of Melancholia ‘s stateside debut, Kirsten was interviewed by Elle magazine about her experiences filming the movie. Snatchurally, the subject of nudes came up: One of the surprises about Melancholia is Kirsten’s curvaceous body. She is naked in several scenes and as Von Trier refuses any form of retouching or airbrushing, surely it caused some anxiety? ‘I trusted everyone and the lighting was beautiful. I didn’t work out beforehand, it was all very natural. I don’t have any real body issues. I never really overeat, I shed weight in the summer, put it on in the winter and yes, I do have big boobs. People don’t realize because I cover up a lot, but they are there. Big boobs.’ Oh, we’ve realized for years, Kirsten- ever since that skintillating nip slip of yours in Crazy/Beautiful (2001). In other Von Trier nudes, the director has just announced his next project, the titillatingly titled Nymphomaniac . The movie will depict “the sexual evolution of a woman from birth to age 50″, and the always-tactful Dane has already confirmed that “As a cultural radical I can’t make a film about the sexual evolution of a woman from zero to 50 without showing penetration.” Oh, Lars. You’re a kook, but you’re our kind of kook. Members can see all the breast scenes from Lars von Trier ‘s movies, like Bryce Dallas Howard in Manderlay (2005) and Charlotte Gainsbourg in Antichrist (2009)- right here at MrSkin.com!

Kirsten Dunst Nude: Brand-Spanking New Naked Shots from Melancholia

Last week on the Mr. Skin blog we posted the trailer for the new arthouse mope-fest Melancholia , directed by Antichrist ‘s Lars Von Trier . At the time we weren’t sure if a faraway woman lying nude on a rock was the film’s star, Kirsten Dunst , a body double, or another character entirely. Well, Mr. Skin’s crack team of nippleologists have skinspected the footage, and they’re saying that’s definitely Kirsten displaying FFN in that shot. Let’s indulge in a quick round of com-bare and contr-ass, shall we? The shot in the trailer: The same shot, zoomed in: Those certainly look like Kirsten’s high cheekbones and full funbags to us! What do you think? Kirsten’s career has taken a skinteresting trajectory recently; though she’s been acting in films since she was a child, she only started doing nude scenes last year, at age 28. She appeared topless in All Good Things (2010), and now we’ve (probably) got Ms. Dunst’s cunst free from its lingerie cage. Must be all of that, how you say, European influence.

Happy Friday! Here’s the Trailer for Lars von Trier’s Armageddon Movie, Melancholia

Kirsten Dunst is having some second thoughts about her decision to marry. Sure, as one character notes, she’s positively glowing at her wedding, but soon she’s in the back room about to cry. Finally she makes the confession: “I’m not really happy.” Oh, the tragedy. If only another planet would come and crash into the earth to put her out of her misery! Ah, but have no fear – That hypothetical planet is actually hurtling toward our planet right now , and you know that Lars Von Trier is going to make sure that it collides! Yep, the trailer for Von Trier’s “beautiful film about the end of the world,” Melancholia , has arrived. Naturally, borderline NSFW nudity lies ahead.
