Upside Down

Bachelorette may not be a sequel to Bridesmaids, but the comparison is inevitable and deserved: Both center around jealous maids of honor whose friendships with the bride are tested in the run-up to the big day. Both feature raunchy humor directed at female audiences. Both start with the letter “B.” But whereas the pedigree of last year’s double-Oscar nominee lies in television sketch comedy and sitcoms, Bachelorette originated on the stage, and writer-director Leslye Headland mines material as portentous as the Seven Deadly Sins.

The film establishes a series of seemingly firm dichotomies—life versus death, good versus evil, logic versus chaos—only to subvert them and demonstrate the irrelevancy of their distinction. The characters are forced to find a calm and a power in living under the looming threat of apocalypse, and an acceptance in returning to nothing. Through the exploration of the physical and emotional lives of his two heroines, sisters Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg), Von Trier... read more
