The first time I saw “Dancer In The Dark” a co-worker gave it to me on DVD and told me to watch it. Okay, I go home, pop the disk in and sit back. At first I was like, “WTF” is this. But I was patient and moment by moment this film reeled me into its vortex. Bjork and all the actors do an amazing job with their characters. The cinematography is welcoming to the eyes and I can’t say enough about the choreography, especially in the musical sequence on the train tracks. I love Selma’s innocence and purity and the clarity of which it is taken advantage of in the story. Oh how I know it too well. However, the ending made my jaw drop to the floor. I’ve become so accustomed to happy endings that when…(we’ll I wont’ give it away) but for those who have seen it…it left me with a feeling that I have no words for.

I’ve watched “Dancer In The Dark” again more recently and I can say now more than ever…I LOVE THIS FILM.
