Dancer
in the Dark Movie Review:
Inspiring
Dancer In The Dark has got to be one of the greatest films
ever released in my opinion, Lars Von Trier uses up close
and personal camera techniques that spin and sway relentlessly
which almost makes the viewer feel slightly naucious. Nonetheless
this does nothing to detract from Bjorks amazing acting
talents, and of course, the music.
The
music, for me is the most inspirational to ever come out
of a feature film. Practically all the songs start out with
no melody whatsoever, focusing on rythym (for example, "Cvalda"
begins with rytyhmical chugs, clatters and whirring of industrial
machines) gradually, orchestral arragements are utilised
which expands its horizons to the grandeur. Bjork's musical
talents never fail to amaze me ("Homogenic" uses similar
timbres) and Dancer In The Dark enforces my opinion further.
In
esscence, Dancer In The Dark is a musical but make no mistake
***this is no "sound of music"*** If any of you out there
has a ponchant for new and refreshing ideas then add this
film to your collection. You won't regret it.
I
should just say however, if practically any sad film can
make you cry, then this will completely blow your mind (I
was crying for hours afterwards)It gave me an unbelieveable
rush of adrenalin, I just couldn't stop shaking. "WUSS,"
I hear you cry. That must be from those of you that haven't
seen it. You are young, but you will learn ;)
