We know straightaway that "Melancholia's" characters are doomed. A sensually ravishing prologue set to the Love/Death theme from Wagner's "Tristan and Isolde" puts the stars in scenes of eerie peril before we've even met their characters. The cataclysmic final shot of this prelude shows another planet colliding with Earth. Let no one say they didn't know what to expect.
