Review of Breaking the Waves (2014) by Gaynor B — 26 Mar 2014
The beautiful, guileless Bess played by Emily Watson carries this film to such supreme heights it's difficult to no picture her coy face winking at you through the camera for days after viewing. Von Trier is a master at playing with our expectations and assumptions regarding faith and belief.
What is dangerous and what is good. Unlike some other directors, I'm looking at you Haneke, Von Trier posits the questions, but doesn't hand hold the viewer through to the "answer" if there needs to be one.
And, as always, beautifully filmed.
