Dancer in the Dark (2000) (BOMB MOMS #1)

Ricky kicks off our new topic, BOMB MOMS, with the Palme d’Or winning musical, “Dancer in the Dark”, by Lars Von Trier. Björk, Iceland’s national treasure, stars as the lead and gives one of the greatest performances in cinema history. The film is a beautiful and heartbreaking experience of a mother doing everything she can to provide for her child. After a good cry, we struggled to keep it together as we discussed the intricacies of the film’s acting, musical numbers, story, and other interesting creative choices. It truly is a one of a kind masterpiece. Enjoy!
