Dancer in the Dark (2000)
This is not a movie

Why discuss the plot of a movie, which is not a movie anyway. Dancer in the Dark is sheer emotion, and the movie can be described in one word: Björk.
If you can stand seeing a person being tormented for more than two hours, you might not shed a tear. I was surprised to find that it was true, what Deneuvre had said, that Björk doesn't play Selma. She is Selma.
Both Björk and her tormenter von Trier deserves all the credit they can get for showing, there is still new ground to break in cinema.
If you want to see a movie, choose something else. If you want art, this is it.
