The most recent film on the list, The Beguiled marks the third collaboration between Sofia Coppola and Kirsten Dunst.
Kirsten Dunst is in a supporting role here, allowing the three main actresses to rightfully shine, but her talent is often too large to be subdued.
Perhaps Lars von Trier’s most accessible film, Melancholia stars Kirsten Dunst as a bride on the verge of a breakdown as the world around her inches closer and closer to the end.
From her earliest roles to her more recent ones, Dunst has played women who refuse to be defined by conventional traits.
