The film premiered in May 2011 at the 64th Cannes Film Festival and the wait is over to be able to see it in cinemas as of today. An Apocalyptic story by Lars Von Trier, who’s initial inspiration for the film came from a depressive episode he suffered and the insight that depressives remain calm in stressful situations. The narrative revolves around two sisters during and shortly after the wedding party of one of them, while Earth is about to collide with an approaching rogue planet. The film prominently features Richard Wagner’s overture for his opera Tristan und Isolde.
