Breaking the Waves:
Danish director Lars von Trier’s Breaking The Waves is a sweeping romantic fable that is photographed like a low-budget documentary, resulting in a strikingly original motion picture from one of contemporary cinema’s most distinct visionaries. Bess (Emily Watson) is a shy young woman living in a small Scottish shore town. When she meets Jan (Stellan Skarsgard), the two immediately fall in love. Jan is a rig worker who immediately embraces Bess’s absolute innocence. Soon after, they are married. Their magical existence comes to a crashing halt when Jan is forced to return to sea for an extended period of time.

The Idiots:
Lars von Trier's first contribution to Denmark's Dogme 95 collective concerns a group of adults who decide to get in touch with their "inner idiot." When Karen, a shy, sensitive young woman, follows a group of mentally disabled individuals home after an encounter at a restaurant, she discovers that they are, in fact, healthy and intelligent. Led by Stoffer, the group lives communally in his wealthy uncle's house. Stoffer believes that by "spassing" in public they are rejecting the conformity and normality of modern society, and he spends his unemployed days thinking of different ways to toy with the world at large.

Tranceformers:
As despised in some circles as he is admired in others, Danish director Lars von Trier has undoubtedly earned the reputation as one of modern world cinema's most mischievous provocateurs. Through interviews with frequent von Trier collaborators, as well as von Trier himself, Tranceformer tells the story of this button-pressing auteur, from his childhood up through the production of his 1996 tour-de-force, Breaking The Waves. Raised with an inordinate amount of freedom by his liberal parents, Lars Trier eventually landed at the Danish Film School, added the “von” to his name, and a startlingly new cinematic voice was born. An instigator from the very beginning, von Trier’s first films to receive critical acclaim, The Element of Crime, and Zentropa, all relied on bold technical innovations to tell dense, moody tales. This heavy reliance on the technical side of filmmaking gave way to a new, more humanistic von Trier, when he began to embrace actors and search for a path directly into the audience's hearts. After developing a more direct approach during the filming of the made-for-television drama The Kingdom, von Trier raised the bar with Breaking The Waves, a melodramatic fable that comes across as a grittily realistic documentary. Tranceformer is a must-see for fans of the Danish auteur, or fans of film making in general.
