Review of Dancer in the Dark (2000) by Scott W — 07 Nov 2014
I almost stopped watching it 15 M in , then again at 20 M. The constantly moving back and forth hand held camera was giving me a headache . But after about 40 m or so that stopped or , I just got used to it.
This is a homage to musicals and simultaneously an anti-musical, the musical numbers are very hard to watch due mostly to this perhaps being the most disturbing and depressing film ever made. And don't ever think Bjork isn't a talented actress.
She most definitely is . The only problem , besides the hand held camera is that this film pushes the envelope for tragic outcomes, but everything that does happen is unfortunately possible. I won't go into the plot.
Just watch it but you'll probably won't be able to finish watching. Yes, it is that depressing. Even I skipped parts of it and I love tragic films.
