It's only the last song if we let it be.
An east European girl goes to America with her young son, expecting it to be like a Hollywood film.
Björk: Selma Jezkova
I don't even know where to start or where to begin with Dancer in the Dark. If movies, stories or songs are meant to depict the struggle and coldness of life, yet provide a backbone and glimmer of love, ho... read more

I can't count how many time you made me depressed by watching your movies. First time I watched Dancer, I was depressed for weeks. I dont know for how long the second time, but it was a great deal of time. I gotta hide all the knives in my apartment just by thinking of the movie. I can feel the tears in my eyes just by looking at the cover.

Feed Your Dark Side (162 movies items)"A thoroughly depressing movie, but also a deeply human one with moments of spiritual levity. Von Trier's most multidimensional film with Bjork leading us through the dark. "
What your favorite movie (really) says about you.. (57 movies items)"If Dancer in the Dark is your favorite movie....you see the beauty in life. Not needing to be overexposed and overstimulated, you are patient for life's little foibles. Indie hardcore. No swans were harmed from making this movie. You also see the beautific horror of devastating tragedy. "
(re)watched in 2022 (168 movies items)"Wow, wow, wow. I have so many mixed emotions and opinions on how I truly feel about this film but my brain is too tired to conclude on what I'd like it to, if you know what I mean. Like I think it's amazing, but another part is just like what the fuck did I just watch and I am trying not to despise it. Anyway, at some parts I absolutely despised Selma's character, but the occasional times I didn't I had a peculiar empathy towards her. Is it just because Björk portrayed Selma and her acting made"

1001 Movies ... my own version (2000's) (100 movies items)" Notes: To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this flick and I should definitely re-watch it at some point. In fact, I even saw it the movie theater when it was released. First of all, even though I have seen all the movies directed by Lars von Trier and even though I respect what he has done, I always had some mixed feelings about his work. Indeed, I always have a hard time to connect with his movies and this feature was a perfect example. Indeed, pretty much like with ‘Breakin"

Películas que he visto (Movies I've seen). (485 movies items)"Is good. I did hate a big chunk of the middle, tho. And I kinda hate her a bit. She's infuriating. Damn you, Von Trier. Is your third protagonist who is basically the same person."
