Torrent description

Selma Jezkova, emigrée tchèque et mère célibataire, travaille dans une usine de l'Amérique profonde. Elle trouve son salut dans sa passion pour la musique, spécialement les chansons et les danses des grandes comédies musicales hollywoodiennes. Selma garde un lourd secret : elle perd la vue et son fils Gene connaîtra le même sort sauf si elle réussit à mettre assez d'argent de côté pour lui payer une opération. Quand un voisin aux abois accuse a tort Selma d'avoir volé ses économies, le drame de sa vie s'intensifie pour se terminer en final tragique.

The final installment in Lars von Trier's Golden Heart trilogy (which includes BREAKING THE WAVES and THE IDIOTS), DANCER IN THE DARK takes the director's original blend of heightened pseudorealism and fabricated melodrama to a dangerously intense level. The story concerns Selma (Bjork), a Czech immigrant living in 1964 Washington State with her 12-year-old son, Gene (Vladan Kostic). On the verge of blindness, Selma spends her days working in a factory, as well as performing other odd jobs, in order to save up enough money to pay for an operation that will cure Gene of the same disease. To pass the time, Selma fantasizes that her own life is a musical, one in which her friends join her in sweeping song-and-dance routines. After her neighbor Bill (David Morse) discovers Selma's hidden savings and steals them from her, she is forced to perform an act of salvation that will condemn her forever. As the innocent Selma, Bjork is one of the most fragile and heartbreaking presences the screen has ever seen. Her unbearably moving performance is enough to keep the viewer mesmerized throughout, even amid the story gaps and inconsistencies. Featuring compassionate supporting turns by Catherine Deneuve and Peter Stormare, DANCER IN THE DARK is an unrelenting gut punch that will have sympathetic audiences quivering with uncontrollable emotion.
