Lars von Trier's latest movie will reach my local cinemas next weak.

Looks pretty much like von Trier's version of The Birds, doesn't it? Both movies seem to juxtapose female emotions and repressed desires with external, supernatural menaces. Hitchcock's birds correspond to the hysterics of the women played by Jessica Tandy and Tippi Hedren and von Trier's planet seems to relate to the depression of Dunst's character in a similar way.

Is anyone else going to watch it? Or has someone already seen the movie?

Any thoughts on von Trier's movies in general? I love the guy and pretty much everything he's done. Breaking the Waves is one of my favourite movies ever and Europa was ace as well. I somehow dig these curious mixtures of sadistic misogyny and hardcore feminism.

Damn, I thought someone has seen it and wants to share.
Heard about it some 4 months ago and I'm really interested in this one.

Finally watched it. What a fantastic, fantastic movie. Simultaneously a delve into the tumultuous, suffocating depths of female emotions, and a Science Fiction apocalypse, it really does resonate as von Trier's version of The Birds, something the trailer already suggested.

The whole thing is basically a glorification of depression, yet at the same time the most terrifying portrayal of this disease that I have ever seen.

It's also absolutely gorgeous. The opening sequence in particular is breathtaking. Anybody interested in the movie should definitely check it out in a cinema to get the full effect.
