O ovom filmu

In an award-winning central role, Björk stars as Selma, a Czech immigrant and single mother working in a factory in rural America. Her salvation is her passion for music. Specifically, the all-singing, all-dancing routines found in classic Hollywood musicals. But Selma harbours a sad secret: she is losing her eyesight and her 10 year-old son stands to suffer the same fate if she can't put away enough money to secure him an operation. When a desperate neighbour falsely accuses Selma, the drama of her life escalates to a magnificent and tragic finale. 2000 Zentropa Entertainments4 Aps, France 3 Cinéma, Arte France Cinéma, Trust Film Svenska, Liberator Productions & Pain Unlimited

Ocjene i recenzije

Coming from a Björk fan, the betrayals and charged emotion in this film are as hard-hitting as they are genuine. A breathtaking performance from someone who was otherwise at the time only a pop star. One of the rawest, heartfelt leads I've ever seen, and Von Trier's experimental form and direction only tops it off.

very enjoyable movie
