Breaking The Waves - 1996 - 7/10

Bess misses oil rigger husband Jan, emotionally and sexually, and prays to God to return him.
And lo, God responds. Jan is injured, badly, and flown back. Paralyzed.
To save him, the devoutly religious Bess, begins offering herself to increasingly brutish men.
Widely acclaimed film, notable for Emily Watson’s fearless performance.
This is really an uncomfortable watch, however. Score above is for Watson, period.
The director, I felt, took delight in his mistreatment of Bess … and other women in subsequent films.
I am not a fan of Dogma 95, nor of this director.
