Breaking the Waves (1996)
Directed by Lars von Trier, written by Lars von Trier and Peter Asmussen

Capsule Review by Matt Page

Lars von Trier went back on his Dogme95 manifesto to provide the perfect
balance to wrestling over whether God is a God of fire and brimstone or a
God of grace. It striking scenery doesn't detract from the tragedy which is
brought home by its superb performances and intimate camerawork. Hard to
watch but incredibly rewarding for those with eyes to see.

Note: The film contains graphic sexual content.
