"Dancer in the Dark" released in 2000 won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This is the first time that the film academia has given Dogme95-style films the highest honor. The famous French film critic Ralph Rischer said: ""Dancer in the Dark" is an ingenious and aesthetically sensual song and dance film. It is a bit romantic and a bit gray, but full of power. It is a classic for more than 100 years. All the depths of love in the movie go, there is not only the color of glass, but also the penetrating power of the abyss." The 53rd Cannes Film Festival judges commented: The singer Bjork, who has the reputation of "Icelandic Goddess", performed in the film. It is amazing that although she has never appeared in a movie before, we are still impressed by her acting skills. Her music has always been light and headstrong, like a modernist artistic ice sculpture. At first hearing it was a bit random, and after listening to it, she found that the charm is infinite and natural. With her unparalleled "ghost voice", she can't help but stand out from the crowd.

    To recognize this film, we must understand how profound and heavy Von Trier's understanding of "evil" is, in order to understand why he created this kind and almost deformed character, just like Pierre, "War and Peace" in "War and Peace". Duke Myshkin in Idiot", they are all kind and even a bit devious images, but the writer actually thinks about the marginal issue of "the ultimate good" in ethics through them, so although this film is not lacking in deliberate and provocative However, in today's society where people are prevalent with "selfish" inferences, Selma, a character with a high degree of "goodness" in a sense, should exist, just like Von Trier's anachronism as always.

    The film was nominated for Best Original Song at the 73rd Academy Awards. Again, it's neither a first-person perspective nor a documentary film. What are you shaking the camera for? ! Also find a Parkinson's patient to do photography. Shaking purely for the sake of shaking makes the audience spend too much energy capturing the picture rather than understanding the plot. The plot is also puzzling. Common sense blind people will have more sensitive and focused other senses, but the heroine can only imagine that this is dementia, not blindness.
