Dancer in the Dark 2000, LARS VON TRIER This movie affected me like nothing I’ve ever seen before. I was in a funk and unable to sleep for hours after it — deeply moved, but unable to react. Bjork is surprisingly great in the film, leading a cast of outstanding performances. What a brilliant subversion of the American musical. The film is amazing, but it requires a long recovery period…
Reality Bites 1994, BEN STILLER Average but very enjoyable comedy that I can certainly relate to, as I’m graduating college this year.
