Melancholia News

Lars von Trier's latest film, Nymphomaniac , isn't really allowed to be one the many sexy independent films debuting at Cannes this week, but the production company behind the sure-to-be - indeed, already, as of right now - controversial film did release a promotional photo of the cast.

Though there's been no shortage of talk in recent weeks about work that Shia LaBeouf didn't do , here's a look at something that this unpredictable actor did do.

And Kirsten Dunst certainly didn't disappoint on Thursday, as she headed out in Los Angeles wearing a 1950s style shift dress and large retro sunglasses.

Lars Von Trier is a director who has never shied away from controversy. The Danish auteur behind "Breaking the Waves," "Dancer in the Dark," and "Melancholia," indulges in cinema that can charitably be described as extreme.

Poor LARS VON TRIER . That italicized albatross of lazy entertainment journalism, " enfant terrible ", dangles from his neck and encourages the casual onlooker to write the Danish filmmaker off as an attention-seeking dick.

This Week in Film rounds up noteworthy new releases in theatres, rep cinema and avant-garde screenings, festivals, and other special cinema-related events happening in Toronto.

Zal Batmanglij's thriller stars Brit Marling as Sarah Moss, an intelligence agent who is assigned to protect the interests of large corporations, and goes undercover in an anarchist collective.
