Lars Von Trier's Dancer in the Dark is a truly ground-breaking and unforgettable film event - praised by critics and audiences alike.

In an award winning central role, Bjork 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 msuicals. 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.

Also starring Catherine Deneuve, David Morse, Peter Stormare and Joel Grey, Dancer In The Dark is an astonishing and triumphant musical melodrama that will stay with you forever.
