Review of Dancer in the Dark (2000) by Rob W — 01 Jan 2012
If you fancy having your heart broken over the course of two hours, give this a watch! This is probably the closest I've ever come to crying at a movie now I'm an adult. I was highly skeptical after realising it was a musical and used a handheld but the film rose above all expectations and everything works perfectly in context.
The music and acting's great, which just gives me another reason to adore Bjork. Von Trier's heavy-handed portrayal of EVIL AMERICANS is a bit distracting but everything else is perfect.
