Dancer in the dark

Every Bjork die-hard fan must see this film, and every person that likes Art MOvies and Alternative Movies.

"Dancer in the Dark" is a film where the starring Selma (played by Bjork) is a mother and worker for a factory, in her day by day work she begins to loose her vision up to be blind, knowing that her degenerative sickness is inherited, she does more than her best for getting money and pay the operation of her son, with this he will never be blind as her mother.

I can't tell anything else about the story but is a really depressive movie nad with its moral touch, you shouldn't loss any oportunity to watch this film.

The screenplay and narrative is so fast so that you have to be staring at each detail and scene from this movie, because it has to many things to tell in a few time (135 minutes).

The direction is very very good, photography is a low quality one, I didn't see the year of this movie but it should be from a time ago (at least from 90's begining). Even with this details, the story is so involving so that you forgot the photograph quality while you're trying to figure out what's going to happen in the next scene.

The camera movements are too hard, they are similar to the first 20 minutes of "Irreversible" film, it seems that the movie was filmed on a "natural way" so that sometimes you see many captions in an erratic way.

Finally the message that I got from this movie was: "what would you do for somebody that you love with all your heart?". You can find one answer in this movie.


I hope that you mind to watch it, and I hope that you enjoy it as I did it.

Let me know your thoughts
