Melancholie der Engel (English: The Angels' Melancholia) is a 2009 German independent experimental horror film directed, shot and edited by Marian Dora and co-written by Dora and Carsten Frank (under the pseudonym Frank Oliver, used due to artistic disagreements). It received largely negative reviews, with some praise towards the cinematography, but most condemned it as hardcore exploitation with repetitive and meaningless depravity communicating its nihilistic message.
