Breaking the Waves
by Lars Von Trier
NEW REX
Bess chooses her own path in an inhospitable environment that consistently fills her with guilt. Her childlike character is untrammelled by strict boundaries and her behaviour challenges stereotypes. Her marriage to a man who is not acceptable to her community causes offence but she chooses the path which innocence, love and her powerful instinct have chosen for her. It is a path of self-denial and self-sacrifice that elevates her, vindicating her final choice, however extreme it may seem.
This tender, deeply emotional work by Lars von Trier, is in both its versions (film and play) a paean to faith and devotion and a triumph of love, whose power touches and is perhaps identical with God.
Suitable for audience over the age of 18 years.
