Watch Dancer in the Dark For Free

That was an excellent one.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

I have always had this ability to feel movies as they were real. To embrace the environment, empathize with the characters, put myself in there... For that reason I am very careful with my movies and film projection is still very big deal to me. Sometimes it is very hard to get in it due to the film's quality or genre but sometimes it takes no effort at all but can crush my very core. And that is what happened to me while watching Dancer in the Dark. I was eleven when I saw it... I have never seen it since... It has been eighteen years and yet I vividly remember so many scenes, the atmosphere, the feeling it gave me... This film was so heavy on my mind I couldn't go on living my life as before. It took all of my hope, my will to live, to have fun, to fall in love... It took me probably two years to get from beneath this terrible dark cloud of despair but I feel it really changed me as a human being. Made me feel more for people in need and even though this whole experience may seem very dark and unwanted, I am glad it happened to me and ultimately - this is what art is about. Art should be able to put you in deep emotional state and change your view on life, world, universe... And for that reasons, to me Dancer in the Dark might be one of the best films ever made.

There's a few redeeming factors in this movie, mainly Bjork's musical numbers, although they can't seem to make up for the rest of the film. Lars Von Trier attempts to have poorly shot scenes to make some sort of artistic statement, regardless of if that statement means anything to you or not, you're still watching a poorly shot film. Bjork's musical talent simply does not do enough to carry almost two and a half hours of cinematic misery. This goes beyond simply being a sad story or a film that is difficult to watch, there's simply nothing engaging. I'm glad people something in Dancer and Lars Von Trier's other work, but I can't seem to find this film to be anything other than pretentious.

From Lars Von Trier with Björk in the lead role. This is the most boring movie I have ever seen: very bad and shaky direction from unbelievable angles, depressing story of an already worn out formula, the horrible music of Björk that every time there was a musical segment it felt like an endless torture, her totally insipid representation... I did not even regretted that she died at the end. Even more depressing is the fact that this is an idea of Lars Von Trier that I even had in some consideration but this is very amateur.

The emphasis of this film is on the last word of the title ... dark. But in spite of being a dark film, it contains some of the most tender moments found in any movie I have seen. You have to be in the right mood to enjoy this film. A mood where you don't mind having your gut twisted by scenes of incredible sadness.This is yet another "Dogma '95" film from Danish director Lars von Trier ("Breaking the Waves" & "The Idiots"). He seems to be the only proponent of this minimalist creed of filmmaking that is able to make it work. The story, set in a small town in the '60s, concerns an immigrant woman who is going blind. She will do anything to earn enough money for the operation that will save her son from the same fate. Her only joy in life is a love of musicals. With a local acting group she is practicing to star in "The Sound of Music", but it is her vivid imagination that gives her the most pleasure ... and gets her into the most trouble. As this painful tale progresses from one seemingly inevitable step to the next, both the main character and the audience are sucked into an emotional whirlpool from which there is no escape. Don't see this film unless you are secure enough in your own emotions to withstand the shock.
