Melancholy, from philosophy to painting, from theater to literature and visual arts, has been explored in various disciplines and has later become a significant theme in the contemporary art of cinema. This study focuses on Lars von Trier's film "Melancholia," which incorporates themes associated with melancholic emotions such as sorrow, arrogance, genius, destruction, ecstasy, collapse, laughter, introversion, sin, creative intuition, illness, health, social isolation, narcissism, everyday life, modernity, tradition, and the iconography of art. Categorized within the science fiction genre, the film "Melancholia" departs from commercial mainstream cinema clichés with Lars von Trier's distinctive style in crafting the narrative. In the film, Trier assigns an intuitive oracle/genius role to the character Justine, connecting the concept of melancholy with ancient philosophical melancholy and making references to historical tradition and mythology. This article focuses on the iconological analysis of the dialectic of nature and culture in the film "Melancholia." The relationship between the paintings featured in the film and the music used is highlighted, drawing parallels with certain works in art history. To analyze these connections, the "iconology" method proposed by Erwin Panofsky is employed.
