Join Nowhere Cinema for a ticketed screening of Lars Von Trier and Björk's beautiful alternative musical, Dancer in the Dark.
“Dancer in the Dark is a brave throwback to the fundamentals of the cinema–to heroines and villains, noble sacrifices and dastardly betrayals. The relatively crude visual look underlines the movie’s abandonment of slick modernism. It is not a 'well made film,' is not in 'good taste,' is not 'plausible' or, for many people, 'entertaining.' But it smashes down the walls of habit that surround so many movies. It returns to the wellsprings. It is a bold, reckless gesture."
This screening will be subtitled.
CW: Dancer in the Dark is bleak as fuck (non-derogatory).
