Alternate Trailer for “Melancholia”
Following the first trailer I posted earlier, this is a second trailer for Lars von Trier’s upcoming movie Melancholia. I am so excited for this! It promises to be so, so big, and visually stunning.
Melancholia will be released in New York and LA on Nov. 11, and in other cities across the US starting Nov. 18, but it will be available On Demand on Oct. 7, so you can watch it at home a month before its theatrical release. I feel like this is something that should be seen in the theater, but I will probably be too tempted to resist; and of course it’s great for those who don’t live in one of the cities where it will be playing.

Midori Harima



These are a few of Midori Harima’s installations, made with Xeroxed images from a variety of sources, including magazines, books, and the Internet, which she crafted by sculpting the printed media on hollow structures, to create this eerie, flat, “3Dvs.2D” effect.

“Bathtub” by M.A.Y.O.
I’m not sure what this short film is about, but I quite like it. Therefore, I’m posting it. I also love the 1960s French song (France Gall’s “Ne dis pas aux copains”) featured in it.
