Breaking the waves [videorecording (DVD)] /Janus Films ; Zentropa Entertainments ; written and directed by Lars von Trier ; producers, Vibeke Windeløv, Peter Aalbæk Jensen.
"Lars von Trier became an international sensation with this galvanizing realist fable about sex and spiritual transcendence. 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 Skarsgard) 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."--Container.
