Breaking the Waves Summary When Bess, A Naive Young Woman, Marries Jan, A Handsome Oil-rig Worker, She Experiences Passion And Physical Pleasure That She Never Imagined. Their Bliss Is Cut Short When An Accident On The Rig Leaves Jan Paralyzed. Believing He Will Never Make Love To Bess Again, He Tells Her To Take Other Lovers, Convincing Her That This Will Help His Recovery. Bess Is Sent Spiraling Into A World Of Dark Emotions She Cannot Understand

Set in an unmercifully rugged, coastal village in Scotland in the 1970s, this extraordinary film by Lars von Trier stars British actress Emily Watson as a barely contained naive named Bess, who holds regular conversations with God and whose pure and intensely personal faith is hardly tolerated by the gruesome Calvinist elders of her church. Bess marries an oil-rig worker (Stellan Skarsgard) and comes to believe that erotic discovery is a part of God's grand plan. But after her spouse is hurt in an accident, she decides that divine instruction is leading her toward the life of a prostitute--with disastrous but somehow beautiful results. Von Trier (The Kingdom) has made a wonderful, entirely unexpected, and rigorous work of discovery in this film, with a formal visual design that recalls classic films by Carl Theodor Dreyer and Robert Bresson. Watson is a phenomenon, her wide-eyed wonder at the world as God's handiwork a breathtaking portrayal of conviction. --Tom Keogh
