In need of a pick-me-up to get you over Hump Day? Well then, how about a clip from Lars Von Trier’s feel good film Melancholia? If you’re still feeling down after that, you could always go hang out at your local emergency room or take in a wake or two!

Melancholia stars John Hurt, Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg (Antichrist), Kiefer Sutherland (Lost Boys, Mirrors), Charlotte Rampling (Angel Heart), Alexander Skarsgard (“True Blood”), Stellan Skarsgard (Exorcist: The Beginning), and Udo Kier (Suspiria).

The film’s title refers to Planet Melancholia, an enormous planet that looms threateningly close to Earth. “No more happy endings!” commented Lars von Trier in an earlier story. He is directing from his own screenplay.

Check out the trailer for Melancholia, which has been dubbed “a beautiful movie about the end of the world” along with the one-sheet, the clip, and even a new still below. Look for it in theatres on November 4th, 2011.
