Breaking The WavesNC
Lars von Trier Season
159 mins – Denmark / Sweden / France / Netherlands / Norway / Iceland / Spain / United Kingdom 1996 – Dir: Lars von Trier
Starring: Emily Watson, Stellan Skarsgård and Katrin Cartlidge
In the early 1970s a naive young woman, Bess (Emily Watson), living in a small community on the north west coast of Scotland, falls in love with oil-rig worker and man-of-the-world Jan (Stellan Skarsgård). Despite local opposition they marry and live out a brief but intense love life.
Jan returns to the rig, whilst Bess counts the days to his homecoming, sure that their love is made in heaven. When an accident renders Jan paralysed he is worried that Bess will cut herself off from normal life. Realising that he will be bedridden, he convinces her that she will aid his recovery by taking a lover and relating to him their sexual acts.
There will be a video introduction from director Ari Aster (HEREDITARY, MIDSOMMAR) preceding both BREAKING THE WAVES and THE IDIOTS. The filmmaker shares his thoughts on the Danish provocateur and the films in question.
Viewer Discretion Advised: BREAKING THE WAVES features scenes of a strong sexual nature.
ENDURING PROVOCATIONS: THE FILMS OF LARS VON TRIER
Provocator. Prankster. Artist.
‘Enduring Provocations’ looks back on the controversial career of Lars von Trier, having courted ardent fans and enemies in equal measure during his nearly four decades as a director.
