POTSDAM – Cinema 10, the contemporary and foreign film series, presents “Melancholia,” directed by Lars von Trier, at 7:15 p.m. Monday, April 23 in the Roxy Theater, 20 Main St.

Critically acclaimed and controversial, von Trier commands an A-List cast including Kirsten Dunst as the new bride Justine, Charlotte Gainsbourg as her sister Claire and Kiefer Sutherland as Claire's husband John.

As a strange planet moves along a collision course for Earth, a family grasps for the last few resplendent moments of their daughter's wedding, during a reception at Claire and John's grand estate.

For her role, Dunst received the “Best Actress Award” of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival. The film “comes close to being a tragi-comic opera about the end of the world... [and] is so beautifully rendered that the film cements the quality of fairy tale that its palatial setting suggests," wrote the “Daily Telegraph.”

Tickets to Cinema 10 films are $4.50 general admission and $3.50 for students and senior citizens.
