	Dancer in the Dark. A Hollywood Jesus Visual Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dancer in the Dark may find its way to art houses in bigger cities, but unfortunately, for many it will only find its way to cable sometime in the future.
		The tone of the movie is dark, but it is also a musical.
		"Dancer in the Dark" is the biggest fraud perpetrated on the moviegoing public since "The Phantom Menace." The shaky-cam made me dizzy within the first 20 minutes.

	Dancer in the Dark Movie Review at Hollywood Video
		In Dancer in the Dark, there is no such rationale, and von Trier needlessly punishes the viewer and Björk, the immensely talented singer (and actress) who plays Dark's heroine, Selma.

	Dancer In The Dark - Movie Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		At its heart, Dancer in the Dark is the simple story of Selma, a Czech immigrant to a small town somewhere in America, somewhere in the recent past.
		Dancer's charm lies in its conceit: To escape her melancholy, Selma imagines herself as part of the musicals she enjoys so much.
		Gripes aside, Dancer in the Dark is bound to be a film that frustrates as many viewers as it pleases.

	DVD Talk Review: Dancer in The Dark
		And yet, the creativity and visual style of director Lars Von Trier("Breaking The Waves") made for a remarkable attempt last year with "Dancer In The Dark", a film that audiences seemed to be heavily to one side or the other in terms of their opinion.
		VIDEO: "Dancer In The Dark" was filmed on digital video - as such, it lacks the smoothness and polished nature of films, as we're used to, but it works for the feel of this particular film.
		Final Thoughts: "Dancer In The Dark" is not an experience that may be for everyone (apparent in some reviews that seemed to hate the film), but I found it to be an often fascinating and powerful film with a wonderful lead performance from Bjork.

	Dancer in the Dark
		Dancer in the Dark has the same potential, although many people now come to expect either brilliance or fuel for their outrage from von Trier.
		Dancer in the Dark, when recounted in the twists and turns of its plot, is pure melodrama.
		Dancer in the Dark will undoubtedly polarise audiences but it should be seen if only for the purposes of collecting ammunition before weighing into the debate.

		Dancer In The Dark is like a trick painting that only makes sense viewed from one angle — to be precise, the director’s own perspective.
		In my view, Dancer In The Dark is the first great film of the new decade, but it’s quite unlike any great film ever made before.
		He’s nothing if not a prankster, and Dancer In The Dark is his greatest prank yet, the first not to leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth.

	Dancer in the Dark DVD review
		A lover of musicals, she sometimes escapes the drudgery of everyday life by imagining she is starring in a musical of her own, creating an idealised reality in which she can sing, dance and see, where the problems of the real world simply have no meaning.
		Dancer in the Dark is both a heart-rending drama and a deconstruction of the Hollywood musical, reconstituted into something new and extraordinary.
		Be aware of one thing straight up, Dancer in the Dark was shot on video rather than film, and though professional equipment was used for the main feature, the dance numbers were captured on cameras just one step away from the ones you'll find down at Dixons.

	Review: Dancer In the Dark
		Dancer In the Dark is disturbing in the same way that movies like Dead Man Walking and The Green Mile are.
		Like Breaking the Waves, Dancer In the Dark is rooted in the precepts of the Dogma "vow of cinematic chastity", although a couple of departures have disallowed Dancer In the Dark from receiving the official seal of approval.
		Dancer In the Dark does something almost inconceivable in the way it merges two disparate genres (the musical and the tragedy), and, although there are a few hiccups, the result represents a thought-provoking, emotionally resonant, and innovative cinematic experience.

	The DVD Journal: Dancer in the Dark
		Dancer in the Dark is Von Trier's infuriating and exhilarating Palm d'Or-winning musical spectacle, which, like his breakthrough feature Breaking the Waves, is about another innocent woman-child faithfully pursuing tragic ends.
		Although, Dancer in the Dark falls short of Dogme 95's total vision (it is not accredited), it draws great influence from the philosophy in its rough, immediate style, largely filmed by hand-held digital video cameras.
		Where Dancer in the Dark runs into most danger of derailing is in Von Trier's dastardly narrative manipulation, which throws logic, motivation and credibility out the window for the sake of emotional response.

	Amazon.ca: Dancer in the Dark (Widescreen): DVD: Lars von Trier,Björk,Catherine Deneuve,David Morse,Peter Stormare,Udo ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dancer in the Dark is that rarest of creatures, a film that dares to push viewers to the limits of their feelings.
		Dancer in the Dark (2000) is nothing if not divisive, which probably pleased bad boy auteur Lars von Trier.
		But in DITD Bjork's raison d'etre is so utterly baffling and idiotic that I was actually looking forward to her untimely demise.

	DVD.net : Dancer in the Dark - DVD Review
		Dancer In The Dark finds von Trier once again playing by his own set of rules, though this time his visceral, near-documentary style of filmmaking is married with the very essence of old Hollywood musicals in a work that ultimately challenges American society and culture with an often none-too-subtle hand.
		The DVD of Dancer In The Dark that Australian audiences get is, in fact, the very same one released in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland - a DVD that’s been personally approved by the director (and, indeed, bearing his signature on the label along with the designation “Director’s DVD”).
		While Dancer In The Dark certainly isn’t going to be everybody’s idea of a fun night with a movie, this is actually a surprisingly accessible instalment in von Trier’s fascinating career.

	PIXELSURGEON \| Reviews \| Movies \| Dancer in the Dark
		Dancer in the Dark premiered in Cannes in 2000 with a lot of expectation surrounding it, due in part to the fact that director Lars Von Trier has a tradition of bringing great films to the Croisette (Breaking the Waves won the Special Jury Award in 1996, and Europa also won special mentions in 1991).
		Dancer in the Dark ended up winning two top honors at the festival: the Palm D’Or and the Best Actress award for Björk (whose song, I’ve seen it All, from the soundtrack, was also nominated for an Oscar in the Best Original Song category).
		Dancer in the Dark is a film that stays with you, not only for its intensity and drama, but also because of its beauty and otherworldly moments where Selma, like the audience, escapes from her everyday life.

	EI > Reviews > DANCER IN THE DARK (2000)
		Though "Dancer in the Dark" is not a video from beyond the new release rack, it is worth adding to the "Video Risk" list because it was overlooked in theaters and by our old friend Oscar.
		Highly publicized for the fact that it was shot on digital video, and featured numerous musical set pieces, "Dancer in the Dark" has a heart of love pumping warm humanity (and inhumanity) through every scene.
		In "Dancer in the Dark," her film debut, Bjorks holds her own along side a large cast of verteran actors.

	Dancer in the Dark (2000): Björk, Catherine Deneuve, Peter Stormare, David Morse - PopMatters Film Review
		For all its fluffy pop-stylings, in her solo work and that with Sugarcubes, her voice is incredibly seductive, in its range, power, expressiveness, its embellishments, and the way she plays with the very sound and musicality of language.
		This is not the case, however, in Dancer in the Dark.
		Dancer in the Dark, for all its fantastical musical excursions and all its tear-jerkiness nevertheless brings home the sobering reminder that justice does not always prevail.

	Dancer in the Dark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Dancer in the Dark is a difficult film.
		If it had been made by another artist it would still be a difficult film, but director Lars von Trier seems to go out of his way to raise the heartbreak inherent in the plot to an almost incomprehensible level.
		At the end I was left wondering how anyone could make such a beautiful piece of art that HURT so much and just how much talent it took to do so.

	Eye Weekly - Singin' in the pain - 10.05.00
		Dancer in the Dark was a controversial choice for the Palme d'Or this year at Cannes, dividing audiences and critics in a fashion that no doubt pleases an iconoclast like von Trier, who co-authored the dubious but influential Dogme 95 manifesto.
		Whatever joy there is in Dancer in the Dark is because of Selma's love for musicals.
		Because the rest of Dancer in the Dark is so cruel, the songs will be greeted by the audience as sweet relief, despite them being typically odd Björk creations inspired by environmental sounds, e.g., the rhythms of the factory machines.

	Dancer in the Dark (2000): Björk, Catherine Deneuve, Peter Stormare, David Morse - PopMatters Film Review
		Dancer in the Dark seems the most manipulative and obviously constructed of the recent wave of Danish films.
		In its employment of actors of specific connotations, Dancer is also the most self-reflexive: this film would be inconceivable without Björk in the central role.
		Her musical authorial mark and her performative presence make Dancer in the Dark read as her auteurist project as much, if not more than, von Trier's.

	Ladyslipper Online Catalog & Resource Guide of Music by Women - Dancer in the Dark
		The final installment in Lars von Trier's Golden Heart trilogy (which includes BREAKING THE WAVES and THE IDIOTS), DANCER IN THE DARK takes the director's original blend of heightened pseudorealism, fabricated melodrama, and the priciples of the Dogme 95 genre to a dangerously intense level.
		Her unbearably moving performance is enough to keep the viewer mesmerized throughout, even amid the story gaps and inconsistencies.
		Featuring compassionate supporting turns by Catherine Deneuve and Peter Stormare, DANCER IN THE DARK is an unrelenting gut punch that will have sympathetic audiences quivering with uncontrollable emotion.

	DVD Review - Dancer In The Dark (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Hitting a limited amount of theaters in the U.S., "Dancer In the Dark" didn’t do a whole lot of business but easily earned the distinction of being one of the most debated films this year.
		"Dancer In the Dark" is the story of Selma (Bjork), a native Czechoslovakian who has come to America so that her son can have an eye operation when he turns thirteen.
		Dancer In the Dark never quite works in the same way for me, which is a shame because I really liked everything else about it.

	Dancer In The Dark (2002)
		Dancer In the Dark exists only to punish Selma for her romantic folly, her "I listen to my heart" ethos.
		Dancer In the Dark is powerful, ambiguous, bold in its defiance of both conventions and interpretation, and it is a musical.
		Sometimes a jubilant cacophony of sounds, sometimes a soaring profession of love or a dark cloud of grief, all the songs are marked by one of the most unique and talented voices in modern popular music.

	Dancer in the Dark
		All the same, if Dancer in the Dark is an interesting showcase for the other side of humor, it is still not the sort of film one recommends indiscriminately.
		Dancer in the Dark, in fact, requires an incalculable amount of forgiveness, but it inspires, beyond that (if you can get beyond that), a great sense of awe.
		And then - by the time it happens the audience may no longer be expecting it - Dancer in the Dark turns out to be an astoundingly moving film, with profound, genuine moments that reach through its calculatedly disingenuous melodrama and take hold of your gut.

		Dancer in the Dark is first a suspense story, without manipulative background music.
		Her imagination transforms these beats to full orchestration and she sings with the accompaniment of the other actors in the scene who, for a short time, become singers and dancers.
		The one thing both films have is common is a valiant woman who goes to the extreme to do what she thinks is right.

		Dancer in the Dark received top prizes at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival including Best Actress for Bjork and the coveted Palme d'Or for Best Picture.
		Critics might be wise to recall co-star Catherine Deneuve's film past in the near-surreal Umbrellas of Cherbourg, a film which featured no dialogue at all that was not part of a musical number.
		It is this sort of technicolor world that Selma escapes to, and the vividness of her fantasy world is matched only by the darkness and pain of her real existence.
