Lars Von Trier - Breaking the Waves (1996)

Breaking the Waves. English audio. Subtitles include French, Danish, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Czech, Romanian, Italian, Portuguese, Greek, Hebrew, Zulu, Wolof, Xhosa, Volapuk. Yes, Volapuk. With Breaking The Waves, director Lars von Trier fashions an often disturbing tale of the singular power of love. Bess (the Oscar-nominated Emily Watson) is a naive, borderline simple young woman who lives in a Scottish coastal town ruled by the religious doctrine of its council of elders. Recovering from a mental breakdown caused by the death of her brother, Bess marries a rough yet compassionate and attentive oil rig worker named Jan (Stellan Skarsgard). For a brief time, the couple enjoys peaceful wedded bliss, with the worldly Jan introducing Bess to the mysteries of sex. Jan must soon return to his job on the rig, however, where he is paralyzed from the neck down in a freak accident. Bess' emotional trauma over Jan's injury turns into obsession as she prays to God for his recovery and offers to do anything to have her husband back whole. Jan, constantly medicated and profoundly depressed, asks Bess to have sex with other men and tell him about it, thinking this will allow her to return to a normal life. Bess, on the other hand, sees it as an expression of her devotion to Jan that even God won't be able to ignore. Bess' resultant downward spiral leads to a finale of both tragedy and spirituality. Breaking the Waves is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive European movies of the 1990s, marking von Trier's movement toward his influential Dogma 95 school of filmmaking, which emphasizes realistic situations of contemporary life, filmed without background music and with a hand-held, restlessly moving camera.

That's how the movie is shot - with hand-held camera and highly grainy look. The quality is fine. Excellent film.

the film was transfered to video then back to film for creative effect, as done in LVT's tv project to create atmosphere

great movie, okay print, there are two thick black strips on the top and bottom edges and two thin one on the sides of the video, audio is good with decent volume.

I have been looking for this movie for years! I almost thought I imagined seeing it on cable late at night. ive tried searching for it based on what I remembered it being about. bed ridden husband unable to satisfy his wife urges her to have sexual encounters with strangers and tell him about it. trying doing a search for that and see how hard it is to find. thanks a million for uploading this. freaken awesome!

victrois (2013-04-29)

also if anyone out there can help me out. there was another movie I saw on ifc a long time ago. I remember a group of kids hanging out together. and then the kid goes home and his dad has to go away on business or something. and he tells him that if he needs anything to tell the maid. who is kinda of hot. and they end up doing it. and she becomes obsessed with him. and he starts wanting to get away from her. it was in spanish or portuguese. I can't be certain. has anyone else seen and know the name of it? I would really appreciate it
