"Melancholia" is shooting now in Skjollhättan, Sweden

PARIS—Lars von Trier offered a trademark few words to describe his new opus on Tuesday — but one of them stuck. Asked to describe the visual style of "Melancholia," which has begun shooting in the Swedish city of Trollhättan and is due for release next year, the Danish director said: "Shit." Von Trier quickly added, “No, I hope not. But a little shittier than the one I did before.”

Few will forget that last work, "Antichrist," which shocked Cannesbefore earning female lead Charlotte Gainsbourg the festival's best actress award last year. The story of a couple secluding themselves in a forest cabin named "Eden" to overcome the grief over the death of their son — only to cryptically be possessed by nature’s evil and descend into madness and harrowing genital mutilation — was born in part from the difficult depression from which von Trier was suffering at the time.

The notoriously capricious director was mum about the plot for his self-scripted "Melancholia," which production company Zentropa has described as a psychological disaster movie with an end-of-the-world scenario. Still, not too many people will die, at least not on screen, according to the producers.

“I have a plan and nobody will ever find out what the plan is,” a playful von Trier told the audience of 60 frustrated — though hardly surprised — journalists who had traveled from across Europe to query him and his cast. “It’s a story about two sisters and a planet,” von Trier revealed. “Kirsten [Dunst] is getting married, but only for a short while, of course.”

The lucky on-screen husband will be Alexander Skarsgaard (perhaps best known from the HBO series "True Blood" and "Generation Kill"), whose father Stellan Skarsgaard also appears in "Melancholia." Kiefer Sutherland will play the leading man, joined by an intriguing cast of thespian talents and cult favorites, among them John Hurt, a returning Charlotte Gainsbourg, Charlotte Rampling and Udo Kier.

Dunst is the latest Hollywood star invited to descend into von Trier’s convoluted universe, following the paths of Nicole Kidman ("Dogville") and Willem Dafoe ("Antichrist"). Penelope Cruz was reportedly also in talks with von Trier for the role before deciding to favor the fourth "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie.

“I’m afraid of what I can say and can’t say,” noted a smiling Dunst. “You can say anything, come on,” replied von Trier. “We don’t rehearse," Dunst volunteered. "It keeps things really alive.”

I'm trying to say as little as possible, said von Trier.

Press conference in Sweden on the film director's new film evolved into a farce.

OF MICHAEL BO, TROLLHÄTTAN

Absolutely extraordinary had Europe's film press and a dozen of the world's great movie stars Monday afternoon break with each other early, 20 minutes before scheduled because neither party really got consistent.

The occasion was the presentation in the remote Swedish film studios in Trollhättan by Lars von Trier's upcoming film, 'Melancholia'.

60 journalists from north to south and east to the west were turned up to hear about the movie, to follow the big shock from Cannes in 2008, 'Antichrist', but neither he nor the glittering teams brought together actors from across the world had large grant.

Taciturn Trier
And the planned 45-minute news conference declined to just 20 as newspapers, web, television and radio from most of Europe gave ævred.

It quickly became clear that von Trier does not intend to tell what 'Melancholia' seems to be about, except that 'there is a wedding' and that 'there is a planet that whirls toward the ground .. . and - hmmm ...:

'Two sisters who removes from one another.

'Melancholia' is the studio has been described as a disaster movie, like 'Antichrist' up to the premiere was called a thriller, but was hardly in any conventional sense.

"But however as shit '
A comet will, more or less, collide with the planet, but not too many will die.

At the very least the film does not show too many die, it appeared.

SORRY. 'I am not very good at this ...«, sighed Lars von Trier several times during' Melancholia'-press conference in Sweden. Photo: Lark Posselt

In Politiken questions about how 'Melancholia' going to take it out visually, corresponded Trier following: 'As a shit'.

And he elaborated like:

'Maybe not quite as much as shit as the previous one. But however that shit '.

Star Glitter
The American film stars Kirsten Dunst and Kiefer Sutherland were the most celebrated of Trier's stars at the presentation, and Charlotte Gainsbourg, who quite remarkably let his abdomen deface in 'Antichrist' is - guess we - the other sister, Dunst.

Stellan Skarsgård is in and play best man for the wedding between Dunst, Alexander Skarsgård, Stellan carnal son in reality.

Furthermore contributing dignitaries as John Hurt and Charlotte Rampling.

"I'm not very good at this ...«, sighed Lars von Trier several times and pulled regret on his shoulders, while the press along more or less gedulgte detours trying to ferret him out on occasion that we all found ourselves in Trollhättan .

A reporter tried to Trier to classify the film's title, 'Melancholia', as another manifestation of the director's notorious accumulation of phobias and famous downs, but Trier jumped not.

The closest he came was the auteur cognition:

'Melancholy I can relate to me'.

"Fucking Germany '
When a German reporter gently reproached Trier that he had tricked the international film press to Sweden from near and far just for not being communicative traces corresponded Trier:

'Hovhov I raised then also all the way to fucking Germany to make my previous films.

And true to say was 'Antichrist' filmed on location in the deep forests of Germany, a residence allegedly not exactly helped the depression that was offset of the film, which was one of the biggest scandal successes at Cannes ever.

Footage of 'Melancholia' has been underway for just three days, and Monday was the first time, the team shot in studios in Trollhättan, where three more of Trier's film has become.
