What's left behind the scenes

Prior to the film's premiere in Cannes, another scandal involving Lars von Trier occurred at a press conference. The director succumbed to a provocation from a journalist who hinted at the maestro's German origins, to which von Trier reacted inappropriately, making an incorrect remark about Jews and Hitler, and later issued an official apology.
Initially, Penelope Cruz was to play the role of Justine. However, she dropped out of the project due to her involvement in filming "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides".
The idea for the film originated with Lars von Trier during a psychotherapy session while being treated for depression.
The heroine Kirsten Dunst was named by von Trier after the work of Marquis de Sade, "Justine".
Much of Justine's personality was based on Trier's own personality.
The film was shot in Trollhättan, Sweden.
‘Melancholia’ is the second film in the ‘depression trilogy’, which also includes ‘Antichrist’ (2009) and ‘Nymphomaniac: Parts 1 & 2’ (2013).
When Melancholia flies closest to Earth and is just rising above the horizon, the characters look through a telescope aimed much higher than necessary.
Penelope Cruz was originally slated to play the role of Justine. However, she dropped out of the process due to her involvement in filming “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”.
“Melancholia” is the second film in the “depression trilogy,” which also includes “Antichrist” (2009), and “Nymphomaniac: Part 1 and Nymphomaniac: Part 2” (2013).
