Described by many as an anti-musical, Lars von Trier’s film Dancer in the Dark (2000) tells the story of Selma, an Eastern European migrant living in America in the 1960s. If the typical Hollywood style musical bores you, but you enjoy a bit of satirical song and dance in your films, then Dancer in the Dark is a must see! The film tackles the hardships of everyday life such as poverty, untrustworthy friends and illness, yet simultaneously takes the viewer to a happier place through song and dance.
Dancer in the Dark is available to rent at all good video stores.
