If you loved Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, try Dancer in the Dark
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Perfume: The Story of a Murderer, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Dancer in the Dark is
A factory at dawn, machinery humming, safety goggles worn. Selma toils, her vision fading, as she imagines choreographed escapes. Von Trier grounds his tale in Selma's desperate pragmatism.
