Lars von Trier's apocalyptic drama is one of the year's truly unmissable cinematic events. On the day of her wedding, Justine (Kirsten Dunst) leaves her seemingly perfect fiancé at the altar and quits her job at an advertising agency. As Justine battles with her uncomprehending sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and confronts her personal existential crisis, existence itself is placed in jeopardy by an approaching meteor which portends a catastrophic celestial collision. Placing personal anguish on the same level as cosmic destruction, von Trier boldly undermines the clichés of his end-of-the-world scenario and takes aim at some of the fundamental questions of existence.
