Lars is such a tough hang - paralysis, a depressing setting and color palate, and tough scenes involving sex and religion. Across 2.40mins. And still, Breaking the Waves was engrossing. And fascinating. And grim. And complicated in its religious perspective. Bergman-like but with the Lars provocation.
Emily Mortimer is simply breathtaking. The prayer scenes surely an influence for Gollum's self argument in Two Towers.
I loved the chapter headings with classic songs playing over a nearly still, painting-like shot of the beautiful scenery.
This will sit with me, and is, 24 hours later.
