Dancer in the Dark

No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Lars Von Trier
2000 / 140min / DCP

Experimentally minded Icelandic chanteuse Björk made her astonishing film debut in von Trier’s gutting musical melodrama, featuring original songs written and performed by the lead actress. An immigrant Washington state factory worker succumbing to the effects of a degenerative eye condition, Selma (Björk) escapes from her drab reality in musical fantasias of the mind in von Trier’s de-glammed, grotty, digitally shot deconstruction of the movie musical, which also boasts the song-and-dance talents of The Umbrellas of Cherbourg’s Catherine Deneuve and Cabaret’s Joel Grey.
