Powerful performance by Emily Watson. A word of warning, this isn't an easy film to watch.
This movie has affected me deeply, to the point of morphing my identity in some way: http://wakinginmoonlight.blogspot.com/2013/02/naked.html
Von Trier è spietato. Un mostro di crudeltà. I suoi personaggi ne subiscono sempre troppe più di quanto sia lecito aspettarsi, e qui la storia colpisce così forte e impietosamente da far star male per due ore e mezza. Come al solito la terribile immagine che viene fuori della comunità in cui vive Bess è grondante di cattiveria. La colonna sonora è magnifica.
One of my favorite of Lars Von Trier's films. If you haven't seen it, rent it ASAP.
Vertiginosa, magnética, dramática hasta la exasperación. Obra maestra del cine moderno. Dogma puro.
My favourite of the Golden Heart trilogy. Von Trier is brilliant at de-sacralizing the eternal story, placing it right in the dull and humdrum life at the gloomy seaside. Emily Watson made it wonderfully, but I think she stuck too deeply to this part and shows those watery eyes and trembling lips over and over again.
Me encanta Emily Watson, es muy buena actriz, fue lo primero que me atrajo a esta película, que es la primera que veo del Cine Dogma, pero me quede por lo demás. Esta narrada muy interesante, con capítulos con una transición de fotografías encuadradas como pinturas y un soundtrack buenísimo. Una historia que rápidamente capta tu atención, por su manera de mostrarte poco a poco y con acciones los hechos de su entorno.
Bess is one of those characters made to make you feel BAD, very very bad. maybe the only thing you can do to be complacent with her and with the movie as well, is cry every time she cries. spend the fucking 159 min crying, and then you may get it.
I got sucked into the beauty of the first hour before I realized that I was watching a Lars von Trier film. Stupid me! The remander was emotionally devastating but powerful.
I wonder if Von Trier is really showing a praise for spirituality or a praise for perversion just so he can get away with abusing innocent Emily Watson on screen. It's traumatizing to watch but mesmerizing and effective, which shows how unique of a director he is and I need to see his other works because I've only seen three.
My favourite film if thats the right word from Von Trier. Best Female lead performance i ever saw From Emily Waston (how she didn't win the oscar its one of the biggest let downs in Oscar history) she's hasn't come near to it since. My favorite Film Critic Mark kermode hates this film with a passion thinks its vulgar but its the only time i've disagreed with him.
An eccentric drama about faith in love and faith in the absurd, and makes me question the line separating the two.
...genious...beautiful, and Emily Watson is just amazing, I love her so much, o god...(=
Second film in the trilogy that I have watched that made me cry!!! HAHA!! Emily Watson was great!!!.. It's a story of true love and the hypocrisy of the church people.. Masterpiece!!
