The TVI Take
Lars von Trier's 2011 Cannes Best Actress (Kirsten Dunst)-winning film about two sisters reckoning with the imminent collision of a rogue planet with Earth. The structural commitment to letting the depression-cognitive register operate as cover for actual end-of-world inquiry, and the canonical opening-credits Wagner-Tristan-and-Isolde montage, is the catalog's most-formally-ambitious late-career work.
