Lars von Trier appears in character poster for Melancholia

Classic Lars. Note the “persona non grata” badge he earned after getting kicked out of the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year.

We only hope the Lars von Trier collectable action figure is around the corner!

Check out the rest of the character posters (featuring actual characters from Melancholia) over at Empire.

You can read our Melbourne International Film Festival review of Melancholia here. The picture does not yet have an Australian release date, but Queenslanders will be able to catch it at the upcoming Brisbane International Film Festival.
