Although their first days of marriage are happy, Jan must work long hours and is often at sea on the rigs. Bess quietly prays for him to return. She gets her wish when he is badly injured and returns home a quadriplegic, at which point he makes an unusual request that sets in motion the rest of the film’s story. Breaking the Waves is one of the most distinctive European movies of the 1990s, marking director Lars von Trier’s movement toward his influential “Dogma 95” school of filmmaking, which emphasizes realistic situations of contemporary life, filmed without background music, with surprising shifts of angles and film styles, and with a hand-held, restlessly moving camera. Its daring originality, vertiginous camera movements, and unsettling story make Breaking the Waves a highly significant advance in filmmaking yet also not a film that all viewers will enjoy., A Scottish woman is persuaded by her recently paralysed husband to take lovers and then describe her experiences to him., In this impassioned drama, Oscar nominee Emily Watson plays a simple Scottish girl who submits to her husband’s voyeuristic sexual requests after he becomes paralyzed. However, her actions may cause her to be ostracized from her conservative community. Stellan Skarsgard, Katrin Cartlidge. Directed by Lars von Trier., Drama set in a deeply religious, repressed community in the north of Scotland. Bess McNeil (Emily Watson) is young and naïve when she meets and falls in love with a Danish oil-rig worker (Stellan Skarsgard). When Jan breaks his neck aboard the rig, ending their sexual relationship, he urges Bess to take another lover and tell him the details. As Bess becomes more deviant in her sexual behaviour, she comes to believe that her actions are guided by god and are helping Jan recover., Emily Watson is the wife of injured oil-rig worker Stellan Skarsgard who, with his permission, takes lovers so her later descriptions can rekindle their once physical passion for each other. Lars Von Triers’ Scottish-set film is both harrowing and beautiful, with stunning central performances and a dramatic plot coming together superbly.
