Any other movies like this?

Last Days was great, loved that movie.

You could try 'Night Mother' with Sissy Spacek. She plays a very lonely, sad woman who lives with her mother, and one day she decides to kill yourself. Her mother figures out her intentions and for much of the film her mother tries talking her out of it. I won't spoil what happens in the end. I found it to be very sad and very well-done. I'll warn you though the movie is very dialogue heavy, as nearly all of the film is the mother and daugher having conversations or arguing. It's really just a '2 actor' movie, but I for one happen to love movies like that.

And if you haven't seen 'Antichrist' yet (also by Lars Von Trier) I'd recommend that one as well. It's also a '2 actor' movie, and is very dark, depressing and disturbing. Also has gorgeous visuals just like Melancholia. Very good movie. Has a few really sick/graphic scenes though, so if that kind of thing bothers you you might want to steer clear of this one.

You remind me of a white crayon... totally useless.

The Hours

These Final Hours (2013)

Same thing but set in Australia with more sex, drugs and violence.

Enjoy.

I can recommend you some films that immediately come to mind once I hear those themes you mentioned. Terrence Malick's Badlands and Bela Tarr's Werckmeister Harmonies. Although both have violence as one of the prominent themes but boy oh boy! Has anyone ever seen such a poetic take on the destructive nature of the human mind..

Another film I would recommend is Herzog's Enigma of Kaspar Hauser. The film is so deep and rich with pure and complex emotions that I couldn't even cry after watching, even if I wanted to, like a baby. It is about loneliness and how it is to be an outsider.

Among well known films such content and treatment could be found in Antonioni's Red Desert and Bergman's Through a Glass Darkly, though I preferred the former a lot more.

Hope you will like these. Have a great (and melancholy) time!

Yes I recommend the Bergman trilogy as well:

Through a Glass Darkly
Winter Light
The Silence

It's hard to pick a favourite but The Silence is very powerful and ticks all your boxes. It particularly focuses on the effects of isolation.

Not really about depression, but I think 4:44 Last Day on Earth is similar at least in terms of the basic premise. It's also very interesting I think.

I enjoyed Helen

Yes a 1959 black and white film entitled "On The Beach" but here rather than a planetary arrival causing annihilation an atomic war has been fought and a US submarine is traveling the Pacific Ocean in search of a strange Morse code message that makes no sense. Only a tiny piece of Australia is left that is not deadly.

Good cast but it was the typical Hollywood elite libs with their message of how bad we (USA) were in developing and arming ourselves with nuclear weapons.
