Subject: BS: Have you seen Dancer in the Dark w/Bjork
I guess this could have been in the music section, because technically it is a musical, and I would like to hear what any of you may think or know of Bjork's music, but I am esp. interested in how the movie she stars in, Dancer in the Dark, may have struck those of you who have seen it.

I had not heard of this movie, until last night when IFC aired it. I found it fascinating beyond anything I've seen in recent years and incredibly disturbing. I've read that Bjork says she will never be in a film again because of the toll this one took in getting into the full emotions of the character and apparently there was mega-tension between her and the director, Lars von Trier.

As far as the little I've heard of her music, I find it just as fascinating and not easily defined. It's almost as if I am reaching for a cloud which, of course, my hand goes through and the cloud goes on, changing shape, tone, texture, etc. There is a video called Cocoon at her website www.bjork.com.

Thanks,
