Keeping up with the trend of the Apocalypse, Lars Von Trier premiered his latest mind scramble, Melancholia, at Cannes this year. The film is typical Von Trier, with its paced and dry psychological unraveling, complete internal disrobing of the characters, and high strung tension. But it also excels with its breathtaking cinematography, cosmic soundtrack, and remarkable performances by Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg. This movie will make you avoid looking at the moon for a while.

Outsider filmmaker Bill Zebub is even more crass and shameless than Nick Zedd. With films like Rape is a Circle, Jesus Christ: Serial Rapist, and Dolla Morte (a film made completely with dolls, in which George Bush tries to attain immortality by killing Dracula), it’s clear he isn’t aiming for Cannes.

With the recent financial qualms, a moment of reflection takes over as we begin to wonder how we all became so out of touch with reality. Somehow Luxury lost its way and mistook itself for decadence, joining the Bling-Bling parade and gravitating towards the streets of self-indulgence. Yet, the true essence of Luxury, as the divine Coco Chanel states ‘is not in the richness and ornateness, but in the absence of vulgarity’. Bravo, I say! Read more
