I thought of it after a call with a friend I know to be perennially anxious—worried over her health, her career, and every aspect of life that could go wrong.

Yet, that day she sounded calm. Despite the chaos and stress of the coronavirus pandemic, she seemed, for once, at ease. She theorized to me that her constant anxiety, perhaps, had prepared her for the current moment. She found a strange peace, as the world ordered itself to match her perception of it. For a chronically uneasy person, global calamity can, oddly, engender companionship: Everyone suddenly feels the way you always have. The perspective of a catastrophe-minded person thrust into a state of actual catastrophe finds perhaps no better creative expression than in Melancholia.

In the face of imminent annihilation, our resident withdrawn melancholic, Justine played by Kirsten Dunst , seems suddenly at ease, even hyperfunctional, whereas her sister, Claire Charlotte Gainsbourg , normally deeply invested in the daily tasks of living, turns inept. The inversion anchors the movie, providing rich fodder for a story with few actual plot twists. But the film may seem like a particularly relevant study of human nature today, especially to those who have noticed similar dynamics within the varied responses to the pandemic.

Ergo Justine, a woman who remains oddly tranquil when things go wrong—even when a minor car crash delays her en route to her own wedding. Claire, meanwhile, waiting for her at the hall, frets. The scene portends the gradual flip of the dynamic between the sisters.

Today too, the imminence of death—a constant fact, suddenly made vivid—might hit one observer differently from another, perhaps in ways that seem unpredictable. Times and details Toggle.
