About Melancholia
Art critic Keller, a German ex-pat living in London, is confronted by his radical 1960s past when he's asked to assassinate a Chilean murderer who is on a visit to London.
Directed by Andi Engel, Melancholia leans on a strong ensemble — Jeroen Krabbé, Susannah York, Ulrich Wildgruber — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1989.
