Hammerman Ikon

Hammerman Ikon Film Guide

Dancer in the Dark
2000
****
Director: Lars Von Trier
Cast: Björk, David Morse, Catherine Deneuve, Peter Stormare, Joel Grey

An emotionally wrenching but highly implausible musical drama about a nearly blind single mother who wants to save her son from sharing her fate. Björk gives an impressive debut performance, and she also wrote and performed the wonderful soundtrack.
