Dancer in the dark

A good film i really enjoyed watching it a long time ago was a bjork’s film, yes, the icelandic singer and musician who played the main role in the movie.
I think i watched this movie the first time on televisión, a cable channel , about 5 years ago when i had a classmate who was a fan of this singer and he recommend me this movie.
The movie is called “Dancer in the dark” and is a drama movie, i think most of the best movies are from this cattegory, the movie is also is a musical.
The director,Lars Von Trier, tells the story of a woman that is not having a good situation in her life cause she is poor and she is getting blind because of some hereditary sickness. The story is about Selma , the main character, who is saving some Money to help her son who has the same sickness than she, and she wants to make him a surgery. The interesting thing is how Selma can face all the bad things that happens to her through the music, she can imagine some rythms in everything she hears, and makes some music of it. Ths film was set in the sixties in United Status, being the characters inmigrants from Czechoslovakia.
The end of the film can be really dramatic but i really liked this movie because of the story, the way the director shows the situation, and how everything ends up. I’d really reccomend this film but not in a happy day.
