Although he is not probably the most well-known european cinematographer,Lars von Trier is surely one of the best this industry has lately produced.Dancer in the dark is not only a cult movie but an emotionaly charged touching masterpiece.bjork is exceptional in her first ever movie role as the blind Selma Jezkova,coming to the US to be able to raise founds for her son`s eye operation to save him from going enterely blind as herself,proving incredible determination and also that she could easily fit the big screen!Nedless to say,she is admirably seconded by C.Deneuve.However,the cast is very well chosen in its integrity(Peter Stormare,Udo Kier)with surprisingly good performances(David Morse)!The dramaturgy is also greatly combined musical elements.Trier`s specific nervous camera work is superbly suported by bjork`s music(her first soundtrack!).All in one,an amazing combination of fantasy and reality!Strongly recomended!
