Lars von Trier became an international sensation with this galvanising realist fable about sex and spiritual transcendence. Newly restored in 4K.
In an Oscar-nominated performance, Emily Watson stuns as Bess, a simple, pious newlywed in a tiny Scottish village who gives herself up to a shocking form of martyrdom after her husband (Stellan Skarsgård) is paralyzed in an oil rig accident.
Breaking the Waves, both brazen and tender, profane and pure, is an examination of the expansiveness of faith and of its limits.
Screening as part of Enduring Provocations: Lars von Trier. This screening also includes a 5 minute recorded intro 'Musings on Lars von Trier’ by filmmaker Ari Aster (Midsommar, Beau Is Afraid).
