She's stunning in this one. She plays her part so well. I didn't realize she had such a flare for acting. I guess I should have realized from her music videos that she has a real screen presence.
"Dancer in the Dark" is a touching movie about a woman slowly going blind because of a genetic affliction that unfortunately has been passed along to her son. She is working to raise money so he can have an operation to save his sight. However, she loves movie musicals and sometimes loses herself in her own musical numbers.
"Dancer" rips the emotion right out of you. At the screening I saw in New York, during one time late in the movie when the movie was momentarily silent, I could hear plenty of others sniffing because they had been crying. "Dancer" is shot with a handheld camera and has grainy colors -- except for the musical numbers when the camera is stationary and the colors come alive.
