Title: More Unberable Than 'Dancer'
Review: 'Breaking the Waves' is even more unberable than 'Dancer in the Dark'. Once again Lars Van Trier feels he must shake the camera ALL THE TIME!! Why does this man insist on making the audience dizzy? In this film two people wed against the objection of some authority figures. The characters talk in soft voices and it is very difficult to follow what is going on, even though the story is very simple. The girl's lover breaks his neck during work. He tells her to carry out his sick fantasies. There you have it folk, that's basically the story. At least in 'Dancer' they had singing, but if you want to waste 2 1/2 hours of your life feeling dizzy and bored out of your skulls, 'Breaking' is for you.
