Breaking the Waves (1996)
a film by Lars Von Trier
What is it?
A bold, defiant and devastating story of love and sacrifice. Lars Von Trier, one of the creators of the realist Dogma 95 movement composes a story where he dares to go to the limits of sacrifice for love in a castrating society that smashes sensitivity. This is the story of Bess, who finds Jan, the love she has longed for so long, a boundless and unlimited love beyond the tragedy and the isolation.

Memorable scene
The expression of Emily Watson makes this movie transcend and linger in memory. Her face and her eyes are memorable, beautiful and bright in such a gray world.

Gossip
Helena Bonham Carter refused to play the role of Bess due to the amount of nudity and sexuality that it involved.
Why is it worth watching this movie?
There is nothing like a Lars Von Trier movie to feel angry and devastated at the same time. In this movie the camera dives into the depths of the human soul, and everything from the impressive and gray Scotish landscape to Dodo's wedding speech show love and isolation in such a crude way that is difficult to scape untouched.
