Melancholia (2008)
Melancholia (2008) is a psychological drama directed by Lars von Trier. It follows two sisters, Justine and Claire, as they deal with the impending destruction of the Earth. While the film is primarily focused on the psychological aspects of the characters, there are several sexual moments that are integral to the story.
The first sexual moment occurs when Justine and her husband, Michael, are on their wedding night. Justine is unable to consummate the marriage, and instead of having sex, she and Michael just talk. This scene is important because it sets up the theme of Justine's inability to connect with other people.
The second sexual moment occurs when Justine and her ex-boyfriend, John, have a brief encounter. Justine is still dealing with the aftermath of her failed marriage, and John is trying to help her. The scene is important because it shows how Justine is still struggling to connect with other people, even though she is no longer married.
The third sexual moment occurs when Justine and her sister, Claire, have a brief encounter. Justine is trying to connect with her sister, and the scene is important because it shows how Justine is still struggling to connect with other people, even though she is no longer married.
The fourth sexual moment occurs when Justine and her brother-in-law, John, have a brief encounter. Justine is trying to connect with her brother-in-law, and the scene is important because it shows how Justine is still struggling to connect with other people, even though she is no longer married.
The fifth sexual moment occurs when Justine and her father, Jack, have a brief encounter. Justine is trying to connect with her father, and the scene is important because it shows how Justine is still struggling to connect with other people, even though she is no longer married.
Overall, the sexual moments in Melancholia (2008) are important because they show how Justine is still struggling to connect with other people, even though she is no longer married. These scenes are integral to the story, and they help to further develop the characters and their relationships.
A prostitute wears suggestive clothing in several scenes; other characters are seen wearing some suggestive clothing (bras, etc.)
It is implied that a prostitute has attempted to have sex with one of her clients; however, she stops the session before they have sex--however, we see the two characters redressing and getting dressed back into their clothing (nothing explicit is shown).
Some sexual references/allusions are made in a couple scenes.
A man has a prostitute strip naked for him, and tells her to strip naked--however, he tells her only to strip to her bra. We only see her bra and her shorts when she strips--nothing further than that is visible.
A main character holds a sex show--we see a man and a woman on top of each other on a bed--the man repeatedly kisses the woman's stomach throughout the scene--and we can briefly see the woman's pubic hair. We can also see the man's genital area in brief flashes--however, most of what we see is the man thrusting into the woman, which continues for about a minute before they are told to stop.
During a strange therapy performance, we see a man and a woman start kissing each other in the middle of the performance. As they continue kissing, they start to undress--we then see the woman's left breast in brief glimpses, and then can also briefly see the man and the woman's lower region. After they undress, they continue kissing and the scene ends.
It is implied that a teenage girl has become a prostitute, and we see her hanging around with other prostitutes. However, nothing explicit is shown and it is only implied.
We see shirtless men in several scenes of the film.
