Este artículo examina el comportamiento la protagonista de "Melancholia" (Lars von Trier, 2011) durante la primera parte de la película a partir de las teorías sobre la angustia que Søren Kierkegaard y Martin Heidegger formularon en "El concepto de la angustia" y en "Ser y tiempo". El objetivo es enriquecer el análisis de la película interpretándola desde un marco teórico que, sin excluir la melancolía, explica el conflicto de Justine desde la reflexión sobre la existencia. Y con ello, como la otra cara de la misma moneda, se pretende presentar a Melancholia como una representación cinematográfica de la angustia.

Esta investigación parte de la convicción de que Melancholia (Lars von Trier, 2011) tiene un destacado valor filosófico, artístico y cognitivo que proviene de una utilización del lenguaje cinematográfico que permite transmitir, repensar y sentir la experiencia de la angustia. Dicho de otro modo, como espectador creo que la película del director danés nos incita a repensarnos de tal modo que nos saca de la cotidianidad y nos enfrenta a nuestro ser-para-la-muerte, casi como si ella misma actuara como detonante de la angustia.

This paper defends that "Melancholia" has a philosophical and artistic value which is founded on the use of cinematographic language to communicate, in an apocalyptic context, the experience of anxiety. And because of that, can help us to understand our ambivalent attitude towards death, which not only does it terrify us but it also attracts us. In other words, I believe that "Melancholia" not only makes us experience the fear that would be provoked by the certainty of imminent annihilation, but at the same time awakens our desire to look into the abyss.
