How can someone play in just ONE film, losing themselves so entirely to the role they become the character, win best actress in Cannes, and decide to never be acting again. Björk can.
She me too'ed against Lars, she says acting in this movie was a traumatic experience akin to "emotional rape". No wonder she never wanted to act again, even though her performance was brilliant
@@gggallin8279 that's both true and horrible. And he knew what he was doing to someone who is perhaps the epitome of what an artist is : Björk was doomed to become the character.
To this day, Selma's death still breaks my heart, a mother gone too soon, damn i wish everyone can give her a big hug and somehow save her without sacrificing her son's operation, but i guess this world is too cruel for a happy ending even for a vulnerable woman like her. thanks for your brilliant performance Miss Björk, love you forever.
@@MaximumCarne I love bjork so it's my favorite movie too, I felt more connected to the movie and character cause it was her. And I have seen many movies. And it's not cause I want to be "different" everyone can have there own taste and opinion. You just see people as different if there not like you. Who wants to be a copy
@@london5182 yes! And its one of my favorite films too! There are films made better than this one. But thats what 'Favorite' is you know, that its the one you felt more deeply about. I have seen 'better' films than this, either technically or well crafted. But i felt more resonated with this than many others. And thats only thing that matters. One might say we are being pretentious. But this film is as raw as anything can get and really make you something. And if that doesn't happen then what is the use of films anyways??
Dearest Björk. You are one of the people I look up to the most and I am thrilled that this is happening. I think perhaps you have slowly been translating from music to what can be represented in images. That is sublime and I say it as a hopefully meaningful compliment which I hope you accept. Gratitudes back to Björk warmth and endless respect. Claudia from Italy
It was very surprising to me how incredibly well Bjork acted as Selma, given that she is not an actor. Bjork's performance honestly convinced me more than multiple big name actors, she really made the character feel totally real
One of my most favourite movies. Bjork was the only one who could play that role. A wonderful performance and the music was sensational. Bjork's music is always a treasure. I do love Lars von Trier. I have seen most of his movies.
Everything she says here really showed in her performance in the movie. I'm honestly surprised that it was her first acting gig, I never would've guessed.
Watched one of red carpet events and she kisses lars on the lips whithout hesitation everyones quick to accuse but no one asks the question why were there no charges laid? There so much bs about dunst and nicole reg lars when they repeatedly say how much they admire him
shes just dissing lars the entire time, you can tell she doesnt fear him at all, but rather, sees him as a child. not in a disrespectful way but in a way that says "you have alot to learn kid" type of meme
Björk is obviously an eccentric and volatile character, as well as being a strong feminist. It doesn't surprise me that she made the claim during the #MeToo movement, as Lars von Trier is also known to be a controversial character to work with (the 'ascetic auteur'-type).
@@MegaTuros Perhaps because she didn't feel comfortable doing so? and when all the Harvey Weinstein stuff was happening, so felt it was the right time.
After what seemed hours of somnambulant, pretentious crapulence, when the central character in "Dancer in the Dark" was FINALLY hanged, I exclaimed "I wish to Hell they'd done that about four hours ago." One of the worst movies I've ever had to endure.
And you went ALL that way to find this and comment…? If I see a bad film I don’t even bother watching it to the end, not to mention to find an interview with an actress and then making the effort of her talking about it and finally commenting on CZcams about how bad it was. But each to their own!
I went into this film knowing nothing about it and i was blown away by it. It was so heartbreaking
just watched it. same man, same.
same
you just dii-iid what you ha-aad to doooo~

She said Lars also harrased.
@@jeremybeau8334 yes, Lars admitted to putting his actors and actresses in emotional distress for movie purposes... He's nuts.
@@Foudroyant20 The guy is clearly insane or at least completely unhinged but no one can deny that the final result is real Art

Just watched it and hell, I just wanted to hug her throughout the movie.
im glad there was some remorse atleast SOMETHING and not just drop dead serious with the guards. somebody cared and saw her for who she was
Her love for the character definitely shines through, TRULY one of the greatest performances of all time
the scene in the cell where shes trying to cheer herself up with the sound of music song 'my favourite things' is absolutely haunting,,, in my opinion
her performance was very raw and brilliant. shes amazing
My favorite female singer and my favorite movie.
You're favorite movie? Ever? Wow, do you mind saying more?
@@aarond9563 just wants to be different. It’s not really anyone’s favorite movie unless they have only see like 2 movies in their whole lives.
@@MaximumCarne ppl are different every movie can be someone's fav

Thats what lars does for ones career
i thought the same. she should have quit music and become a prof actress
Dancing in The Dark is one of the major moving movies you can find
unfortunately its made by Lars Von Trier
If you haven't seen all of Lars von Trier's movies, go ahead and be spellbound. His mind is just incredible.
It’s really sad watching this, knowing all the horrible things she was put through behind the scenes
Bull shit
_There's no love in this film..._ --except through and through.
The love came from, or through, Bjork
One of my most favourite movies. Bjork was the only one who could play that role. A wonderful performance and the music was sensational. Bjork's music is always a treasure. I do love Lars von Trier. I have seen most of his movies.
i wanna type something about this movie, but all i have to say is it was the worst and best movie i ever saw. bjork was so good it was scary.
“I fell in love with her and felt like she needed defending” hits a lot harder knowing what we know now.
A mother at heart.... There is no love & it is ok... Totally understand
this movie traumatised me
Why ?
@@filipecoutinho5706 you saw it?
@@joaquinrodriguez2381 honestly I don't remember if I did ...
@@filipecoutinho5706 it is one of the saddest movies ever made and on top of that bjork's acting is phenomenal no doubt she wonthat cannes film award
It also traumatized Bjork
The Most Adorable Human Ever Lived 💋
Thankyou Bjork
An amazing woman ❤️
This movie is astonishing!
My ex was Icelandic and his and bjork eyes are exactly the same :( beautiful people
Living legend
One of the best films ever made.
Wow she's amazing
I wat hed years ago and hate musicals but I 😘 this movie her singing everything
It would be interesting matching her up with Jim Carrey. He had a similar experience of completely being transformed into Andy Kaufman.
Everything she says here really showed in her performance in the movie. I'm honestly surprised that it was her first acting gig, I never would've guessed.
As Bruce Springsteen would say, “This gun's for hire. Even if we're just dancing in the dark.”
Can we zoom in closer please i can barely see her facial expressions
funny thing they made a hardcore porn called Pink Prison on the film set of this movie!

I'm saying tho. 👐🦚💐
this is glod
who'd knew that 20 decades after she would acuse Lars for sexual harassment ?
Didn't know the film was 200 years old. Impressive recording technology for the 1820s.
Björk is obviously an eccentric and volatile character, as well as being a strong feminist. It doesn't surprise me that she made the claim during the #MeToo movement, as Lars von Trier is also known to be a controversial character to work with (the 'ascetic auteur'-type).
@@boobella899 Why didnt she claim him during making the movie? That time She wasnt a feminist?
@@MegaTuros Perhaps because she didn't feel comfortable doing so? and when all the Harvey Weinstein stuff was happening, so felt it was the right time.
@@crappymcdick I understand that...
Selma .....
Selma ,did two semicrimes.
Being this close to Bjorks face is giving me trauma
Um, that's rude
@@wildnfearless9840 it could be anyone's face, it's not comfortable to see anyone's face so close to the camera
Sit further away from your phone or computer
@@zerpente3 lol
I used to date her
Sure…

It's one of best movies I've ever seen. It was long but worth it and the ending scared me.

Maybe you just dont like drama movies, thats fine, but its definitely not a boring movie, I was hooked the entire time, Bjork did a fantastic job.
I'm saying tho. 👐🦚💐
