Melancholia
“Remembering Udo Kier: Palm Springs’ Valentine” Lars von Trier’s Melancholia is a haunting meditation on apocalypse, grief, and cosmic inevitability, and it also marks a key chapter in Udo Kier’s long-running collaboration with the provocateur auteur. As a recurring presence in von Trier’s cinema, Kier functions as both witness and anchor—his restrained performance in Melancholia reflecting a relationship built on trust, rigor, and shared transgression. Their partnership situates Kier within the canon of contemporary European auteurs, reaffirming his singular ability to move between extremity and elegance while remaining one of cinema’s most vital character actors.DramaPT2H10M2026-02-20Kirsten Dunst
