Dancer in the Dark
i haven't felt this way about a film in a while, i don't even know what to say, what the fuck, bjork has a top 5 performance ive seen, she is absolutely phenomenal in this, the musical sequences are so enjoyable and unlike other musicals where they just bust a move out if nowhere, in this film it actually has a point and is warranted, i liked the song choices, that scene with selma and bill, what the fuck, that ending made me tear up, i felt such euphoria, anger, sadness all watching one film, i would say i need to check out more lars von trier, but he's definitely not a director i am in a rush to discover, oddly enough i kind of want to rewatch this, it just hit me so hard, how its able to be so bleak yet lively, when the music first came on, that's one of the greatest things ive ever seen
people don't like how it looks or the style of it, but i love it, i think it adds so much to the film, i love the dogme 95 style, the handheld camera really elevates this films uneasiness, seeing how free it moves and the shakiness, it is disturbing, but in a powerful way, i feel like in his other film The House That Jack Built, it was funny, but it doesn't have the UMPH that Dancer in the Dark has, its so heartbreaking and perfect, i seriously cannot find a single flaw, people complain about the editing, but i thought it was great, lars von trier may be a nazi but he sure knows how to direct, maybe i haven't seen enough LTV, maybe im saying this too early, maybe tomorrow my opinion will change, but for right now i think its a PERFECT 10/10
